Listen "Principles for hiring engineers"
Episode Synopsis
This week we’re joined by Jacob Kaplan-Moss and we're talking about his extensive writing on work sample tests. These tests are an exercise, a simulation, or a small slice of real day-to-day work that candidates will perform as part of their job. Over the years, as an engineering leader, Jacob has become a practicing expert in effectively hiring engineers — today he shares a wealth of knowledge on the subject.
