Great points!

(2) Exactly. As I said in the article, talk to the candidate and gauge their knowledge through approaches, ideas, and knowledge.

(2b) Timed tests are the worst, I get extremely anxious and see little point in stressing for an interview test when the role will never put you under that amount of pressure. I’m not interviewing for IT support on the ISS when the internet goes down…

It’s great to know there are other people who have gone through the same situations and experiences.
