Woohoo, indeed! Very nice write up and it is really
great to be able to
share—though if we ever need to hire another data analyst you'll have to
come up with new tasks and questions, now that you've revealed all the
secrets. ; )

Howdy! I'm excited to share an in-depth breakdown of how Discovery hires
data scientists, now posted on Wikimedia Blog[1]. It covers how we
(responsibly) wrote an inclusive job description to attract diverse
candidates, the approach to designing the take-home task, and our approach
to technical interview questions.
Some of you may already be privy to Discovery's process for hiring me and
Chelsy, but I wanted to share this link anyway. I think there are lessons
that hiring managers can learn for other technical positions (not just those
in DataSci) because parts of the post were motivated by negative
interviewing experiences I and others have had when applying for tech jobs.
I've gotten positive comments from folks at other organizations who are
finding the post informative and useful as they think about their hiring
process. I mention this because I'm glad to be working at an organization
where sharing knowledge and insights with the outside world is not just
allowed, but encouraged.
Cheers,
Mikhail
