Towards Scientific Study of Technical Interviews Using Eye Tracking
Mahnaz Behroozi · 2019
A technical interview is a stage in industry hiring process for assessing developers' skills. Despite several critics against technical interviews, there is no reported scientific approach to assess their effectiveness. In my work, I first study developers' concerns about technical interviews. Then, I propose a framework to study whiteboard interview in particular and investigate the factors that introduce extraneous challenges for developers. My thesis proposes studying each technical interview style and finding out the factors that negatively affect developers' performance. This may help in propounding interventions and enhancing technical interviews.
