We placed an ad in Dice, Hotjobs etc for good XP, J2ME programmers. I will tell you, XP programmers are hard to find. We interviewed a senior person from Dallas. Colin and I, then, talked about the traditional interview process and how much waste it generated. How can I know if an individual is right for my business, by just talking with him once or twice? We decided to change the way we conducted interviews!
We will call the candidates to stay with us for half a day. We will pay him\her the required travel and meal expenses. We will then pair with him\her and see them in action. The only downside with this approach, I see is that the waiting time may be longer. We may also have to ask the candidate to sign a NDA.
