The problem is that these people are supposed to be programmers, i.e. people who have been trained already. Yes, it is real that companies do not want to train people - and that is a problem in itself. But if someone tells me "I am a professional programmer" and I give him FizzBuzz and he cannot solve it it is no training problem. It is a problem with hiring: How could such a person ever hold a position as a programmer (without "trainee"/"apprentice" behind their job title)?
