Tips for giving effective feedback
Why paying candidates to solve problems works: the employer
- Since the candidate is getting paid, the candidate treats it as a legit consulting session and therefore gives her best effort in solving the problem.
- It’s an indication to the candidate of how they will be treated in the near future if they decide to join.
- It allows a mock work interaction with the candidate at a very low risk cost to you. After the project is complete, you can bring the candidate in and ask them questions about their actual design/coding decisions. This lets you get a sense of how they communicate, take criticism/questioning.

Eliminate a bad hiring decision
Rules for PAID Sample project assignments as a form for interviewing potential employees:
- Give them the weekend to solve the problem.
- DON’T use a real problem because of the tribal knowledge needed to fix.
- The solution you’re expecting should be clear, but open for improvement.
- Let them present their solution to a group on Monday.
- Write the problem down for them to take home.
- Pay them immediately on Monday. Hire them or not, something about giving them a check after they present their solution is the best way to start or end a relationship.

To hire or not to hire that is the question
- During the meeting on Friday they asked a lot of clarifying questions
- The questions were thought out and made sure that nothing was misunderstood
- The solution addressed your problem using the technologies and techniques you prescribed
- They read the entire problem and followed the instructions correctly (i.e. if the problem said use PostgreSQL, they didn’t give you queries that only work on Oracle DBs).
Indicators you shouldn’t hire this person:
- They refuse to do the project because “someone will hire me without it”.
- Didn’t complete the project correctly
- They can’t articulate their decisions.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
