Ask HN: How do you hire a senior programmer when you aren't one

3 pointsby denzellover 8 years ago
I&#x27;ve inherited a cross functional team, and the lead programmer has moved on.<p>I&#x27;m an experienced dev, but not proficient in the stack for which we are hiring.<p>I&#x27;m in the process of replacing him.<p>There is a technical test in place which I am asking other developers to grade, however I have questions about the grading, and of course the test. We&#x27;re passing or failing candidates based on the test, but I know the best person won&#x27;t always be the best test performer. Further, someone could not &#x27;pass&#x27; the test and possibly be good.<p>Does anybody have any magic to share here?
