10 The current process is more interactive than the quiz itself might
11 suggest. After the quiz is completed there is an interview to go over
12 it. This allows for free discussion.
13
14 One of the goals is to focus on interaction between the candidate and
15 the recruiter, because they are assessing maturity/social skills/etc
16 in addition to technical ones. In addition to having the knowledge
17 that they shouldn't go messing with eclasses without posting them on
18 -dev or whatever, we want to make sure they have the sense/maturity to
19 actually do it.
20
21 Certainly that is something that is impossible to accomplish in a
22 perfect way, but it is still important.
23
24 So, I'd probably focus more on interactivity between the candidate and
25 a recruiter/mentor/whatever, and less on interactivity between the
26 recruit and some kind of computer-based-training software.
