The point is that I interviewed the guy in person and he nailed it 200%. If you interviewed him online you would likely come to conclusion he’s a fake per the criteria you specified, wouldn’t you?
It’s not a rubric I’m checking off for interviews. And in person it’s more straightforward to assess a candidate than questioning if they are using any aids over video… whats your point?
Wasn’t trying to dodge, I misunderstood the premise.
If this was in person, then no I likely wouldn’t fail them. However, In all my in person interviews I’ve conducted, I’ve never seen that even from the best candidates, that’s why I also find it odd over video.
