1. Work samples over riddles
We ask candidates to do a small, real task. Nobody has ever learned anything useful from being asked to count manhole covers.
2. Structured interviews
Every candidate gets the same questions and is scored against the same rubric. It is fairer, and the hens appreciate the consistency.
3. Candidate feedback
We share notes with every candidate who asks. Even if the answer is no, you should leave knowing something new.
4. Starting well
New hires have a buddy, a first-week plan, and a deploy on day three. A golden egg on day three is possible.
