Recruiting AMA! 

I was (and am) a tech recruiter for 4 years. I’ve scaled a company from 7-35 in a year and hired every founding functional role in a seed stage startup.

Question to ask an engineer that gives the best signal?

There's no silver bullet question for having a good hire, but in general I ask everyone: 
- What is the biggest mistake you've ever made in? = copout answer means they're high ego, honest answer is low ego.
- Teach me the most difficult concept you know in 5 min

They should meet the team and get along with everyone :)

It means you can acknowledge your mistakes, and in this case, a very big fuckup.

If someone thought so highly of themselves, would they admit making a mistake at all?
