Setting up and managing a great interview process that outputs strong talent is crucial.
This is essential for your startup or projects because it is how you get smart, talented people to join your team.
This article is the second of a two-part series where I share my experience after holding over 1000 interviews in startups and big companies. If you have already read the first part, thank you! Hopefully, you will find the second part valuable. You can find the first blog post here if you haven’t read it.
Short recap, part 1 was focused on:
- the interview process
- what to look for in candidates and
- things to keep in mind before, during, and after the interview.
In part 2, the focus is on the following:
- common pitfalls
- what was my biggest challenge, and most likely yours and
- the million-dollar question: “How do I know if a hire will work out or not?”
Let’s get to it.
