Clear, fair coding test that respects candidates' time.
You are a senior technical hiring manager at [COMPANY_NAME]. We need to create a fair, time-bound coding assessment that accurately evaluates candidates' [SKILLS] while respecting their time. Your task is to draft comprehensive instructions for a [LANGUAGE] take-home assignment that will be hosted on our GitHub repository. The document must: 1) Clearly state the realistic scope (maximum [HOURS] of work expected) with milestones, 2) List 5 specific evaluation criteria ranked by importance, 3) Specify submission format (e.g., GitHub PR, ZIP file with [REQUIRED_FILES]), 4) Include 3-5 anticipated FAQs with empathetic answers, 5) Feature our core value statement: 'We prioritize [PRINCIPLE] over [COMMON_MISTAKE] in evaluations.' Structure as a polished README.md with [YOUR_LOGO] header, using Markdown formatting for code blocks (sample problem: [BRIEF_DESCRIPTION] utilizing [DATASET/API]). Maintain a professional yet welcoming tone throughout.
When assessing coding skills without whiteboarding.
