Matt Mullenweg on hiring: "The best method I’ve found for hiring is to avoid fancy interview-type questions" - interview w/ Web Designer
The best method I’ve found for hiring is to avoid fancy interview-type questions or put people under a lot of pressure, instead I just to get to know them and see if they are someone I would want to be in the trenches with. I check out their work to see if it is the level I am looking for and if it is we do a trial project (paid, of course) where I can actually see what it’s like to work with them over the course of a few weeks. There is no better barometer of what someone is actually like, how they communicate, collaborate, and manage their time.
That's how I will do it too.
