Here is a question that I might ask. What are the alternatives to R and how does R compare? That is, for what class of problems is R the best tool around?

Ask if they have a favourite R programmer. This will tell you how much into
the R culture they are, and perhaps also tell you if their opinions of a
good programmer concur with yours...

Folks,

I was wondering if anyone has put together a list of R job interview
questions?

I’m thinking of about 5-20 possibly open ended questions for interviewing
a candidate to do R programming. Just programming. Not statistics or
mathematics.

What I don’t want are tricky “puzzles” that are more about how clever the
interviewer questions are than how to get the best person for the job.

I would consider myself a mid-level R programmer so this would also be a
great opportunity to learn more and be able to hire a great candidate.

I am perfectly happy to get a reference, book title or URL.

Not looking for anyone to do my work for me!

Best to all,
Happy New Year,
KW
