I think technical interviews should not be the main criteria when hiring for a Java position. You need to look for developers that have a proven track record of success, and people who have demonstrated they can learn, and adapt to different technologies.
You need to hire a developer, not someone who can do the specific things you are looking for (you will have a hard time finding someone available, that knows the exact things you are looking for, will work for the pay you are offering, is easy to work with, is comfortable in your work environment...). You need to look for people who demonstrate a proficiency with technology, that will be able to handle whatever you throw at them. Hire for ability, not for skillset. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
