Feature: Salary range comparisons
AS A person involved in a recruitment discussion
I WANT to know whether the candidate's and recruiter's expected salary ranges overlap
SO THAT I can avoid spending time on negotiations that can't ultimately be satisfied
AS A person who knows about the phenomenon of price anchoring
I WANT to approach this question without necessarily being first to name a number
SO THAT I don't compromise my negotiating position

Originally published in June 2008

When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first. In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written. And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.

To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.

What to expect

Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality. So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.
