I am interviewing candidates for a role that centres around user experience. The issue is that I am unsure of the best way in which I can test someones ability in this field (i’m used to grilling them with OOP questions for dev roles).
I had thought of giving the candidate a PSD file and seeing if they can translate it into compliant xhtml and css etc.
I have never been a fan of programming tests being used to determine the skill of a developer.
Unless you’re hiring an entry-level developer, you should probably judge them more on their portfolio and have them give you some source to things they’ve worked on. High quality, well-designed code takes time to produce – and it won’t happen during a test except on a very small scale. The test should be more of a formality, so you know they are not lying about all the stuff they developed.
