Anyone have a good way of testing what people's work ethic and standards for good work looks like?
There's not a surefire way. In IT, we always want to hear thought process rather than the right or wrong answer. You should make scenario-based interview questions and see how people respond.
As part of the interview for her current job, my wife was given a big article pertaining to her line of work and she was to read and summarize it and bring the summary to the interview for discussion.
ah. That's good. I'll have to think of something
Hmm Okay I'll think of something.
I want to do something like draw a house. Not to see how good their artistic abilities are but to see what their attention to detail looks like.
Ok, ask them something like "Tell me the steps to make a sandwich" or something like that and see what level of detail they go into.
Moral dilemma question, no right answer, just look at how long they take to respond and if the response is rational. If they respond too fast...
That's really good. Thanks!![]()
I am evil. I pity the people that need to interview with me.
any other suggestions?
I usually had long interview questions written down, with diagrams, and let them read them and answer them. Many told me I was brutal.
