Jason Wodicka - Building a structured interview process
from Geeks Who Lead Podcast Hosted by Peter Bell / Jason Wodicka
Especially in the early days, too many companies still have ad-hoc interview processes or over index on things like resumes which aren’t super predictive of likely performance and tend to exclude many great candidates. In this episode, I get to chat with Jason Wodicka, Staff Software Engineer at Karat about their experiences in structured interviewing for engineering roles. We talk about ways to do an inexpensive but predictive initial technical screen, avoiding “pedigree bias”, structuring tests for functional competence and how best to build a lightweight, quick but predictive loop with independent assessments and clear rubrics for everyone involved. PARTNER Thanks to our partner CloudZero — Cloud Cost Intelligence Platform. Control cost and drive better decisions with CloudZero cloud cost intelligence.
