[IxDA Discuss] How to hire a good IxD

[Mark Schraad]

Ah ha - I was not aware that it was configured to allow the designer

during the interview. Sounds like an interesting method for HR to  
administer and assess without consuming large amounts of design  
managements time. Thanks for the clarification.
