Interviewing Research: Links for 08-08-2007

Today, it was my first time being involved with the interview process. Being the go-getter that I am, I of course tried to do a bit of research on the interwebs. Here is what I found:

• Does specific technology knowledge matter when recruiting? My sources say no.
• A Guide to Hiring Programmers: The High Cost of Low Quality You know what they say, 5 rock star programmers can outperform a hundred medicore ones. So how do you get those 5 top programmers?
• Effective Technology Teams: Rule #1, No Chumps Covers some heurestics and other techniques for shifting through the medicore developers.
• The Guerrilla Guide to Interviewing (version 3.0) More of the same.
