# Criteria
|
|
|
|
In order to be accepted into this list, the company's interview process **must not** do the following in **any** step of the interview process:
|
|
|
|
- Use CS/algorithmic questions/brainteasers/riddles/puzzles/etc that DO NOT relate to the job the candidate is applying for
|
|
- Use live-coding sites like HackerRank or LeetCode
|
|
|
|
The only exceptions to the above is where CS knowledge is a **requirement** of the role.
|
|
|
|
## Recommendations for companies that do "whiteboard" interviews
|
|
|
|
- Instead of using questions that bear no resemblance to the role, adapt the question so that it does. A screening question can be easily adapted so that it applies a "real world" requirement
|
|
- Take-home exercises can be good. Please try to:
|
|
- time-box them (e.g. under 4 hours)
|
|
- only allow use of stdlib
|
|
- pay the candidate for their time
|
|
- Give the candidate options: Some candidates might not have the time necessary to complete a take-home exercise. In those scenarios, allow the candidate to take their laptop in to perform a shorter exercise (e.g. pair program on a small issue)
