So why do we do such an awful job i nterviewing people? Candidates hate our silly brain teaser questions and S QL pop quizzes\, and many managers just end up hiring on intuition anyway. \n\n I've stumbled upon a few techniques that have made our interviews a lot less miserable—even occasionally fun—and have helped us find some excellent people at the same time. I want to tell you about those techniqu es and the ideas that produced them\, so you can get a little better at fi nding the people you need too. \n\n Did you know The Lead Developer is an international conference for tech leaders? We'll be back in Austin on Nov ember 8\, 2019. You can check out last year's conference talks here. \n LAST-MODIFIED:20190327T045711 LOCATION:Under Armour\, Austin\, TX ORGANIZER:mailto:hello@whiteoctoberevents.co.uk SUMMARY:Lead Dev Meetup - Austin - March 2019 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/the-lead-developer-meetup/austin-march-2019 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/the-lead-developer-meetup/austin-march-2019 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
