> See my earlier comment regarding the relative strength of candidates with OSCP.

Have you been through the course and exam yourself, or are you basing this on something else? If you've been through the experience, which parts of it contribute to you not valuing it?

I have not, and have no plan to take OSCP - though im familiar with it.

I'm relating the facts about candidates who applied to my roles with OSCP certifications. I did not hire any of them.

I do not specifically dislike OSCP, its that I do not value any of the certs merely because someone possesses them.

Certs are a marginal signal to me about your potential for discipline, may inform how deep I go on questioning, and thats it. Conversely, certs may lead to bias, particularly for some very lame ones.

I don't think it's very fair to weight letters on a resume so heavily, it's about what you can do in the role I have for you.

Having them is not something that will make a big difference to me.
