In which cases is it best to assign a technical interview?

The technical interview is best scheduled in the following cases:

• After an initial screening of the resume and/or a test assignment. This allows you to ensure that the candidate meets the basic requirements.
• When it is necessary to assess practical skills and the ability to solve problems in real-time. For example, coding on a whiteboard or in an online editor.
• To check the depth of understanding of technologies and algorithms that are important for the specific position.
• If it is necessary to evaluate communication skills and problem-solving approach.
• When there are multiple candidates for the position to select the most suitable one.

Scheduling a technical interview immediately after the first contact without prior filtering may be inefficient. It is better to first conduct a screening, and then a technical interview for a more in-depth analysis of competencies.
