La cosa assurda delle selezioni IT è che ormai sembrano più un percorso a ostacoli che un colloquio di lavoro.
in ordine bisogna fare HR screening, tecnico, live coding, esercizio a casa, colloquio col manager, colloquio con il CEO, magari pure un altro round “culturale”.
In tanti settori non funziona così fai un colloquio, valutano esperienza e motivazione, poi si parte.
Invece nell’IT sembra che si voglia prevedere tutto prima, con processi infiniti che spesso misurano più la resistenza o la pazienza del candidato che la sua capacità di lavorare bene.
inserisco nel post un recente processo di selezione che mi è stato proposto, azienda italiana piccola 50~ dipendenti 3 mln di fatturato. Cosa ne pensate?
Interview Process
Step 1 - Solve some coding problems
You will be sent an assignment with some coding problems. You can choose which problems to solve in one hour and submit your solutions. The solutions you submit will be evaluated by our recruiters and, in case they they are satisfactory, you will be moved to the next recruitment step.
Step 2 - Let's get to know each other
In this second step, you will have a call with one of our recruiters and they will present you our company and the job position you applied for. They will also ask you to briefly discuss your background and your previous experience. At this stage, feel free to ask any question about our company and the job position!
Step 3 - Coding Technical interview(s)
In this step, you will be requested to solve some algorithmic problem in a live coding session with one or more of our recruiters. You can use any programming language you like. We never ask trick questions and we will not ask you theorems or definitions by heart, we just want to understand how you think and how you approach problems.
A further technical interview might follow in case our recruiters believe it necessary to better assess your skills!
Step 4 - Design Technical interview(s)
In this step, you will be requested to solve some design problems in a live session with one or more of our recruiters. You won’t have to code but you could be asked to analyze a code extract or to design a user-flow or deployment process.
A further technical interview might follow in case our recruiters believe it necessary to better assess your skills!
Step 5 - Final interview
Here you will get to talk with our head recruiter and our Engineering Director. We will get to know each other better and go through an assessment of your technical interviews and maybe follow up with some further discussion about the problems you faced.
Step 6 - Job offer
In case you successfully completed all the above steps, one of our people managers will get in touch with you to discuss the logistics, economics and benefits and follow up with a job offer.
