I'm running a small company out of Technopark Trivandrum. We're always on the lookout for good people (as is everyone else). I myself have a history in development, and none in management. Never worked at a company in my career.
So my question: how does one gauge aptitude in programming? In particular, when we put out a job advertisement, we get a ton of resumes from freshers. Most (if not all) do not have any significant experience, knowledge or demonstrable skills. Most fail our written test, which tests basic knowledge in programming, algorithms, etc. Their resumes are full of bullshit, and in many cases, fraudulent. Given that the fresher lacks knowledge in any given area, what kind of testing should we use? Since we do development in Python and Django, and so far no candidate has come to us with "Python" on their resume, what do you suggest we do?
