Ask HN: What are some companies that do "presentation interviews"

2 pointsby freeworkvor 13 Jahren3 comments

Instead of doing a standard 45 minute interview, have the candidate give a 45 minute technical presentation to the team?

A startup I worked for a few years ago did this, and it was awesome. From looking around careers.stackoverflow.com and other popular job sites, this technique is not as popular as I would have hoped. Does anyone know of a company (startup or not) that utilizes this interview method?

Yeah I wrote them a long letter asking to present to their team about 2 weeks ago but never got a response. Real bummer.

Try again with a short one-paragraph letter.
