What should be a fair amount of time in an interview before rejecting a candidate?
- by Danish
As a panelist for technical interviews, you often come across candidates who have all the requried educational qualifications, skill sets and experience level on resumes, but struggle to answer even the most basic questions.
Ideally, technical interviews should try to check different aspects of a candidate and test them on various skills. So, if the candidate falters on one aspect, one should test the other ones before coming to a conclusion. But often, if a candidates falters on the first few questions, the red flag rises up pretty quickly.
What in your opinion should be the bare minimum time spent with a candidate before making a fair accessment of his/her skills and suitability for the job?
