Communication might be the most important skill in tech right now. I once interviewed a developer who explained everything perfectly in the interview… but later daily updates from him were one-liners. What signals help you spot someone who will collaborate well at work and not just shine in interviews?

I’ve seen this too. Interview communication and day-to-day communication can be very different skills. Someone might explain architecture beautifully in a structured interview, but async updates, context sharing, and stakeholder communication are a separate muscle.

In distributed teams especially, clear written updates matter a lot more than people realize.

Indeed! I wonder what actually works in interviews to bring this out before everyone gets too involved.

Hiring is always a bit of a gamble. There is only so much you can learn from an interview or two no matter how many questions you ask. In your situation, what matters is having clear expectations for communication.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
