Title: do you want to hire the best?
Review: Amusingly, Hunter states how certain questions should not be asked of job candidates in the US, due to non-discrimination laws. But he then immediately proceeds to broadly hint (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) how the interviewer should indirectly ferret out such data, if you deem it germane.He then goes on to suggest that interviewees should adopt the dress of the executive and banking industries. Wretched idea. A spineless conformism. Do you want to have the chance to hire the best people or not? His advice can cause you to lose some creative and brilliant programmers who care little about a dress code or those employers who set store by it.Sure, some top notch people will readily conform. But others won't. And the truly talented do not have to work for you. You are competing for them, more than the reverse. For a purely, self interested viewpoint, you should not impose a dress code. Maximises your chances of getting the best.
