How many CEOs have you interviewed to run your company? How did you conduct the interview? Do you think that same interview is appropriate for a developer?

The fact of the matter is that without the skill test there are way too many people that are incompetent and you have to have some way to filter those out.

I do not know how it works with CEO positions, but I am not hiring CEOs. I do hire software engineers and would like to work with competent people.

If you know of a better way then I would like to hear it.
