All I am currently in the process of interviewing job candidates who if successful will become my boss ;-) Basically the manager who will be his boss has asked me to do the technical side of the interview and check if the candidates are OK. I've had the "pleasure" of interviewing 2 so far and they were pretty weak technically. I am not sure if I have been spoilt by the creme-de-la-creme here but I did check them a little thoroughly especially with the candidate who was bold enough to mention under key skills "very strong knowledge of windows 2000/2003 Active Directory".
Now I am definitely no expert, but if someone is bold enough to claim that, he better not buckle up under pressure and reply that the questions I am asking are only worthy knowledge to those working at Microsoft. And this is the reply I got when I asked him what the FSMO roles did. Actually, I got a little miffed as the guys had the audacity to demand pretty much twice the pay I am getting and were paper MCSE's. The feedback we received from the candidates afterwards said the interview style was ..... aggressive. So, my question to you guys is, if you interviewing someone for a Windows tech-lead position (with focus on AD), how technical would you want him to be? This is a guy who would be steering the design of an infrastructure to support tens of thousands of users.
