The best way I've found to interview candidate developers is to pair program with them to do real work on the actual code of the project that is hiring. If not possible, give programming exercise which is: The exercise must involve working with current development tools. The exercise must require the candidate to apply important features of the language. The exercise must involve understanding and working with existing code. The exercise must involve error handling. The exercise must involve testing. The exercise must offer scope for domain modelling. The exercise must involve asking questions. The exercise must be realistic. The exercise must involve changing requirements. The exercise must offer the candidate enough rope to hang themselves. The exercise must test many different skills and practices. A good interview programming exercise takes at least an hour. - http://nat.truemesh.com/archives/000630.html The other interesting reading - http://blog.secosoft.net[..]ass-kickin-interviewscreening-questions/ Phone interview - http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/ThePhoneScreen.html Questions that somebody like to ask... although I think this guy is a bit arrogance - http://softarc.blogspot.com[..]y-favorite-java-developer-interview.html Another interview question and answer - http://journeymanjournal.blogspot.com/2005/03/sir-am-i-hired.html http://paultyma.blogspot.com[..]/howto-pass-silicon-valley-software.html http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001042.html How about lie at CV? http://jroller.com[..]mon?entry=lying_on_your_r%C3%A9sum%C3%A9 Interviewing in google - http://pyre.third-bit.com/blog/archives/000174.html What interviewee should asked at interview - http://blog.reindel.com[..]programmer-should-ask-on-a-job-interview What should not waste time to ask the candidate - http://www.innerspace.com.hk/cl_life.html http://www.ehow.com[..]303_use-technique-ace-job-interview.html Beware of the small things during interview - http://cn.wsj.com/big5/20100115/eoe145304.asp

principles of taking consultance service: 1. I will not work for an organization whose goals are not consonant with my own beliefs. 2. I will not work on projects whose goals I do not understand, or cannot agree with. 3. Before becoming part of a project, I will first obtain agreement on what percentage of my time I can (and must) spend on continuing professional development, and what resources will be provided me for that purpose. 4. I will not work under measurement schemes that pit one person’s performance against another’s. Rather, I will cooperate totally to help others in the project achieve their full potential, as I expect them to help me do. 5. I will not accept work without understanding what is to be done, and why, nor will I pass work to others without their similar understanding. 6. All my work will always be open and available for critical comments (circumscribed, as appropriate, by real security considerations); and I will always stand ready to review the work of others in exchange for them returning the reviewing service to me on my work. 7. As long as the above conditions are met, I will devote myself in the utmost to achieving the goals of my project and the organization that has retained my services. http://secretsofconsulting.blogspot.com[..]/07/working-conditions-that-prevent.html

A nice comment about IT employment: Because the company cannot show absolute loyalty to the employees, I don't want or expect absolute loyalty from employees to the company. In fact, when I see an employee with a strong sense of loyalty, it worries me, because I know that I may not be able to return the sentiment. Obviously I expect honesty and fairness. But when it comes to the issue of whether the employee stays or goes somewhere else, I don't expect loyalty to be the deciding factor. It is my job to make sure the employees are happy with their compensation and work environment. If they find a better situation, I expect them to do what is best for them and their family. I simply need to be sure that they cannot find a better situation. That puts a lot of responsibility on the company, especially with the way we do software development here. We ask our developers to do a lot of things they don't necessarily enjoy. We expect them to help customers with the tougher problems. We expect them to help with testing. We expect them to be willing to use any and all of their skills to help make our products successful. For a programmer who wants to do nothing but write code, SourceGear is not the ideal work environment. So we have to take the challenge of retention seriously. I'm pretty sure nobody in our area pays better than we do. Everybody gets their own private office. We eat lunch together every Wednesday at the company's expense. We have a pool table and a basketball hoop. http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com[..]DiscussTopicParent=8037&ixDiscussGroup=5
