Test spoken communication
๐ก The goal of this step is to test candidates remote spoken communication.
Task: Send a video asking for a video from the candidate. Send the video you want to receive. Keep it short and simple and bonus points for screen sharing.
๐ก Tip - Send a video of yourself explaining the task so the candidate knows what and how to do it!
Example of a message Duncan sent to a candidate -
Hi NAME, thank you for following up ๐
Since the timezone difference will not be an issue, we can move onto the 2nd round ๐ I've recorded a 1 minute video with next steps.
- Have you ever managed a front-end team? If not, have you ever been solely responsible for building the front-end of a production application? (Please share your screen if applicable.)
- Also, what are your preferred working hours?
If possible, please share your video by 4pm EST on Tuesday ๐ We tried doing 15min calls in the past, but found this to be WAY more efficient for everyone involved. Your video can be as short as you like.
Thanks!
