1. What’s the most important skill for a candidate nowadays?
Adaptability and problem-solving. Technologies change quickly, so the ability to learn, analyse problems, and apply knowledge is more valuable than knowing a single tool.
2. What’s more important, technical quality or behavior?
Both matters, but behaviour and mindset often weigh slightly more. Strong collaboration, communication, and ownership are essential for long-term success, especially in team environments. However, if you can’t prove that you have the technical skillset for a particular role, you will never get hired.
3. Why are hiring processes taking more than 3 steps (sometimes 5+)?
Companies want to reduce hiring risk. Multiple steps allow them to evaluate technical ability, culture fit, communication skills, and alignment with the team. However, overly long processes can also slow down hiring and cause companies to lose good candidates.
4. What’s the biggest red flag for a candidate?
Inconsistent experience or an inability to clearly explain past work and decision-making. Another red flag is poor communication or lack of accountability when discussing previous projects.
5. Do you think non-big tech companies can measure the technical level of candidates?
Yes, but it can be more challenging. Companies without strong internal technical expertise often rely on structured technical interviews, practical assessments, or even external specialists to evaluate candidates accurately.
6. Are companies aware of the visa process changes in Ireland?
Awareness varies. Some companies, especially multinational organisations, are familiar with the process and timelines. Others may still assume visas take significantly longer, which can make them hesitant to sponsor candidates.
7. How many non-technical candidates have you seen memorizing the process?
It does happen occasionally, especially when interview processes rely heavily on theoretical questions rather than practical problem-solving. Well-designed interviews that include real-world scenarios usually reduce this risk.
8. What are the ideal steps for a hiring process?
A clear and efficient process usually includes:
1. Initial screening (recruiter or HR)
2. Technical interview or practical assessment
3. Team or culture fit interview
4. Final discussion and offer
Keeping the process to 3–4 stages help evaluate candidates thoroughly while maintaining a positive candidate experience
