you should get the person that will lead me/work with me with on a video call, open up 3 real issues, let me choose one (or more) of them, see how I tackle the problem, let me code the solution (or pair program it), let me google anything I want, and at that point you would know how I work, and I would have a view into what it feels like working for you

then (or instead) we might do the opposite: I should have a project on github (or similar) that you can look at beforehand, let you pick an issue, etc etc

if the issues are 6 hours issues, the commitment is on both sides: the company has a team member spending those 6 hours too
