Designing a great technical interview. Vet better, move faster, hire smarter
The event
In this webinar, Neal Kemp outlines how to build a technical interview process that top developers actually want to go through. Backed by real experience as both an engineer and a founder, Neal shares how to test what matters—while respecting candidates' time and keeping hiring on track.
What you'll learn
-
Test what they’ll actually do on the job
Skip live coding (unless you pair-program on the job). Instead, use take-homes, system design, and technical Q&A that reflect real responsibilities. -
Keep it tight and candidate-friendly
Aim to go from first call to offer within 2–3 weeks. Limit take-homes to a few hours and avoid dragging candidates through excessive interviews. -
Empower interviewers, but avoid committees
Interviewers should be trained to assess fairly and consistently—but final hiring decisions should rest with the hiring manager, not a group vote.
