Effective Methods for Assessing Technical Skills in Hiring

Curious how teams here are actually validating technical skills during hiring 👀 We’re seeing resumes look strong on paper, but real-world skills often don’t match once candidates join. How are you currently assessing things like coding ability, QA skills, or DevOps knowledge before making an offer? • Live interviews only? • Take-home assignments? • Any automated assessments that actually work? Genuinely interested in what’s been effective (or a waste of time).
