Demystifying Tech Recruiting
summary
Clear, step-by-step account of how Facebook hires: an initial recruiter screen is purely informational, followed by a 45-minute technical screen with 1–3 live coding questions in a collaborative doc, then an onsite with whiteboard coding across four front-end interviews plus lunch. Recruiters supply prep material, interviewers submit private feedback, an interviewer debrief balances impressions, and a separate candidate review brings in other engineers before any offer. Practical takeaways: practice whiteboard problems, be discoverable online, and treat each stage as data to learn from.
