Interview for a designer in IT: questions, test, pitfalls

Recently, our company has developed very rapidly: over the year, the marketing department has doubled, a department for Internet projects has appeared, the activity of HR and event areas has expanded, the coverage of social networks has increased, and a more serious approach to advertising has been formed. Fuh. We found ourselves in a situation where the design burden on one person had already become exorbitant. As a result, accepting the inevitable fact that a second designer is still needed, we started looking.

Spoiler alert: we found the designer. And here I will talk about the difficulties we encountered, our decisions and conclusions in this case. At the same time, I will post the questions about the technical part of the interview and the test task that we offered. I think our experience will be useful for you, both if you are looking for a dream job, and if you are an employer who urgently needs a designer. So let's go :)
