Technical Deep Dive Scorecard

Candidate: Typing Name | Interviewer: Typing Name

Phase 1: Project Deep Dive

Focus on a single, complex project. Assess depth of knowledge, problem-solving, and actual contribution.

Does he explain the "why" behind tech choices, not just the "what"? Does he articulate trade-offs clearly?

Vague
Expert

Is it clear what *he* personally built, designed, or fixed? Can he move beyond "we did..."?

Ambiguous
Specific

Does he talk in terms of tasks, timelines, sprints, and unblocking others? Does he show an understanding of the delivery process?

Unaware
Process-Oriented

Phase 2: "Whiteboard" Challenge

Problem: Design an AI-powered "Frequently Bought Together" feature. Assess real-time problem-solving and systems thinking.

Does he ask clarifying questions first? Does he break the large problem into smaller, logical components (data, model, API, frontend)?

Monolithic
Structured

Does he focus on a realistic MVP? Does he mention practical concerns like deployment, monitoring, performance, or potential roadblocks?

Abstract
Actionable
