In this workshop led by Gayle Laakmann McDowell, former Google software engineer, interviewer and the author of the bestselling book Cracking the Coding Interview, you'll be hands-on, covering all the specifics you'll need to know about coding interviews. It will start with an overview of the hiring process and dive into more detail about types of interview questions (behavioral, knowledge, algorithms/coding, and design). You will learn how to create a hiring process that is efficient, sets a high and consistent bar, and attracts strong candidates.
Although sections of the workshop will be highly technical, non-technical people are encouraged to attend. You will learn:
- Differences between assessing senior candidates and junior candidates
- The goals and limitations of technology-specific questions
- Selecting and asking appropriate algorithm questions
- Mechanisms to evaluate coding skills, including whiteboards, laptops and code assessment tools
