1/ Written interviews can help companies better hire thoughtful people.

As an interviewer, my goal is not to hear the first answer … I prefer to hear the candidate’s best answer.

2/ Giving candidates a couple of days to answer a question (instead of a couple of seconds) yields better answers.

4/ A written interview is not a test … and it is different from a project or presentation.

It is essentially the same thing as a live interview except it is communicated in written form so candidates can take their time to compose their answers.
