Ask HN: What are your favorite interview questions?

10 points

11 years ago

I've interviewed at a bunch of startups recently, and overall I've been unimpressed by the interview questions.

Many of you have hired for both technical and nontechnical roles - how do you approach the interview? Do you have a set of questions that you ask every candidate? Or do you just wing it?

What are your favorite questions?

I haven't found many resources online for interviewers. I'm thinking about putting together a handbook that includes great sets of questions and advice about hiring based on potential, from this awesome HBR article https://hbr.org/2014/06/21st-century-talent-spotting.
