Efficient Interview Process for Assessing Candidate's Problem-Solving Skills
The key to a successful interview process is to determine if a candidate can handle the 10% of hard things they cannot fully prepare for, by ensuring they are able to tackle the remaining 90%. This can be achieved by starting with broad questions to identify what tasks the candidate excels at and what they struggle with. Following up with in-depth questions that lack clear right or wrong answers but are crucial, such as marketing attribution or resource allocation. Using question pairs to understand problem-solving approaches and assessing a growth mindset by asking what they aim to learn in the role. By consistently employing this approach, candidates are evaluated thoroughly and effectively, leaving no room for ambiguity in their abilities.
