TL:DR don’t use leetcode questions. Kidding. Read on for some great insights into how this smart, experienced engineer thinks about the technical hiring process.

Here’s the truth: the good candidates want to show you what they can do and the good hiring managers want to see it. I’m really excited to share the new feature we’ve built that will help both candidates and companies get their wish. public take-home projects goes live today. With a simple link on a company’s Careers page, companies can make it easy for candidates to click, do a take-home project and “show” their coding skills. Suddenly the traditional resume and recruiter screen, with its ‘all tell/no show’ vibe, feels a lot less relevant. Candidates win by showing their best skills and recruiters save time while also casting a wider net. As a hiring manager, I get to quickly see who my best applicants are, sometimes even those I would have skipped based on resume alone.

We sat down with NC State researchers, Chris and Mahnaz. Here's what they had to say.

You Could Help Them Be Better.](https://coderpad.io/blog/interviewing/technical-interviews-are-pretty-terrible/) This past week, I got to have a great conversation about technical interviews with Chris Hodge of Kinkor Consulting (thanks for hosting me, Chris!). We were, of course, in total agreement - whiteboard interviews suck.

Here’s Why.](https://coderpad.io/blog/interviewing/take-homes-are-the-new-resume/) Whiteboard interviews are dead; putting candidates in a cramped room with strangers breathing down their necks is not a recipe for finding the perfect talent. We can create a better hiring process. I know it and you know it too (otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this blog, right?). So how can we make it better, especially now, when it’s clear change is long overdue? It starts with prioritizing skills over degrees from fancy universities, code quality over work experience at big-name companies, and exceptional thinking over powerful personal connections. It starts with getting away from the resumes that help companies focus on the wrong things in favor of prioritizing the right way to assess candidates.

She had majored in cell biology — following her parents’ dream of seeing her become a doctor — and had no formal computer science training. With her home-grown training to go by, potential employers didn’t have the vision to see how she could be successful with a degree that wasn’t software engineering or computer science.
