I've hired three people this year and they are all duds. I gave them a coding challenge but I think they just memorized leetcode solutions... Our team also did a behavioral and maybe I'm too fucking gullible but I believed what they said. If you are in a position where you hire engineerings what do you do to get some good people on board?

Open source contributions is the most reliable way. Next is asking them to fix a complex bug. Third is review the code that is poorly written. Fourth is deep and subtle understanding of nuanced features of their programming language fifth is keeping updated with recent features and technology. This is how u get good people.

Can I upvote a million times? This is the answer. Never ask people leetcode, ask for real world work and have them bring it to you
Fire all 3 and use their combined salary to hire 1 person
The industry decided see how well people can memorize lc solutions.
Because the industry is filling factory jobs. Small companies shouldn’t blindly copy how large companies hire.
Don't use leetcode. You have to give them a real-world scenario and see what they do with it. The best engineers are found when you give them a task that has multiple parts and is physically impossible to fully complete. Just see what they prioritize, and how far they get with whatever direction they chose.
Maybe you are just bad at managing software development or your expectations are unreasonable.
Get better at interviewing . Put together a coding challenge that they just can't memorize and that forces them to explain. I'm the behaviorals, as questions that will aim at getting the candidate passionate about the conversation. It is hard to see when people are lying but it is easy to tell when they are genuinely excited .
What company what roles?
