Best practices & general tips:

• In general, take home cases and work trials are the best way to get a good proxy for how a candidate will perform once employed.
• Be clear about exactly what you are looking for. If you don’t know, you probably shouldn’t be interviewing.
• As a rule of thumb, assume that every question should be followed up with “how?” and “why?”.
• Be mindful of your own unconscious biases—they’re often more influential than you realize.
• Approach interviews as a means to validate strengths, not just to spot red flags—remind yourself of that before every conversation.
