How a 90 Minute Interview with a Designer Resulted in a Product Our Friends Love
- minch 12y agoSo did he get the job?
- nikilster 12y agoWe really like him and wanted him to stay. He's a student right now so he's pretty busy.
- mmolinet 12y agoGreat way to interview someone. Now if only every interview went that well
- nikilster 12y agohaha we've done several interviews like this and usually we pick a project that we estimate to be 3-4 hours and since we are engineers we pretty much always underestimate how long it will take. It's the first one we have ever finished / shipped. We thought it would be way too simple, turns out it was just right:)
- josephlau 12y agoWe've had great experiences so far! Most small hacks / projects that we do end up turning into something that is honestly pretty fun and more often than not, we even end up working on it a bit more.

- nikilster 12y agoHey HN family! Here's an interesting experience we had in one of our interviews. Would love to hear any tips or advice you guys have on interviewing and any feedback you have on our process. Thanks!!
- ryanwitt112 12y agoBest interviews are tests like this - love it!
- ayushsood 12y agoNice! You did all of this in 90 mins? +1
- nikilster 12y agoThanks! Finishing the last bit and polishing it up took more than 90 minutes - there's a lot of stuff we needed to do for the app store also - screenshots, etc...
- joshdance 12y agoWith a team of 3 how many of these hackathon interviews have you done? Seems like a great way to interview.
- Mandatum 12y agoSounds pretty enjoyable too. Building an MVP/starting a new project is always my favourite thing when it comes to the development process. It's usually not too challenging and lets you get involved in all aspects of the product - from design to deployment.
