I am 100% certain that your questions are not giving everybody a fair chance to shine. You have to start with the area of expertise they have already worked in and not the area that you happen to have experience in or be interested in. I could (for example) ask “simple” dynamic optimisation questions that are “easy” for me and I know that 95% of great experienced developers would fail. So obviously I don’t do that. I want to hire smart developers who can learn. Not developers who happens to have the same experience/interest that I do.
