Ask HN: How do I evaluate a candidate's growth potential?

10 pointsby kartickvover 5 years ago
I believe that hiring should give significant weight to a person&#x27;s growth potential, what he can do a year from now that he can&#x27;t do today.<p>But I don&#x27;t know how to figure that out in an interview.<p>What questions would you ask, and what signals would you observe, for that?
