Engineering talent, both Individual Contributors (IC) and Managers, are vital to building and shipping your products faster and better than competitors. When you’re growing fast a mis-hire in these roles can flatten your company's trajectory toward the moon. Don’t let that happen with Yobs Interview Kits.
The Yobs Engineering Interview Kits are built around competencies predictive of success in Engineering. Each kit includes a scorecard with (a) definitions of the competencies, (b) interview questions in the context of Engineering and if relevant managing a team, and (c) signals to look for in a candidate’s interview answers.
Some competencies are more important than others when predicting performance, depending on the responsibilities of the job.
