Technical Interviews

If you are trying to hiring a programmer or a SQL Server DBA, I can be of great assistance. I have a standardized process for hiring technical people that ensures you get the most qualified candidate for your position.

Why hire a Professional Technical Interviewer?

Instead of just throwing a bunch of questions at a candidate you gathered from the internet, my questions are based on over 35 years of development experience and hiring employees. I rank my questions to target junior, intermediate and senior-level developers so you can get the level of developer you require.

No offense intended toward HR people, but they just don't have the expertise to interview technical candidates. Even if they have answers to technical questions, they can't determine if that person might actually know the real answer, or if they are just taking a guess. I have been developing applications for over 35 years, and I can tell if someone knows some of the answer or just guessing. I can then rank that candidate appropriately based on their answer.

The following are the types of developers I can help you hire. In each box is a list of the technologies from which I will ask questions of your candidates.
