5 SIGNALS I’M LOOKING FOR WHEN INTERVIEWING SOFTWARE ENGINEERS

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Non-technical skills are just as important as technical skills during interviews. Key skills include the ability to ask clarifying questions in the face of ambiguity, thinking in terms of trade-offs, articulating one's thought process clearly, demonstrating humility, and being receptive to guidance. During interviews, candidates should understand and reflect on problem statements, consider the pros and cons of solutions, communicate clearly, admit knowledge gaps, and listen actively during interviews.
