Technical Interviews

Conducting technical interviews requires a controlled setting. In this environment, candidates work on a clean desktop, interviewers can observe their actions in real time, and the configuration remains consistent for every applicant. DaDesktop delivers this environment on demand, eliminating the need to provision physical hardware.

Benefits of the environment

• Uniform setup for all candidates: Everyone starts with the same tools and initial state, ensuring fairness and preventing issues related to local machine discrepancies.
• Strict isolation from local systems: The desktop operates as a distinct environment, restricting candidate activity to within that isolated space.
• Complete reset between sessions: You can wipe the desktop to start fresh for each new applicant, ensuring no residual files or code are carried over.

Workflow

Each candidate is provided with a cloud desktop equipped with the necessary tools for the task, such as an editor, terminal, and browser. The interviewer monitors the session live. Upon completion, the desktop is reset, allowing the next candidate to begin from an identical state.

Since candidates do not need to install any software, they simply access the desktop via a browser. This approach eliminates setup time and removes hardware variability from the hiring process.
