Developer Interview Advice from a Designer

I was chatting with one of the designers I work with about his interview experience when he was hired, and he remarked how interesting it was that much of the interview focus was on how his personality and work patterns would fit with the team, and less on his design skills or resume. He asked me what developer interviews here were like, and I said that, back when I did interviews, we made interviewees write code on the white board. He pondered this a few moments, and then said, “Hmm. You should have them write some HTML, too.”
