changing up the way of interviewing w/christopher swift, senior software engineer at live oak bank in raleigh
guest: christopher swift, senior software engineer at live oak bank in raleigh
- ask candidates to walk through specific details of what they built instead of asking basic definition questions
- listen for depth of experience the same way you would listen to someone who actually lived through a hard situation versus someone who just read about it
- watch for disengagement in an interview since lack of energy and care is a major red flag
- value honesty and willingness to admit you dont know something over trying to fake an answer
- build real connections with peers since those relationships often lead to future job opportunities more than recruiters do
