The answer to the question is "all of them," because it is the wrong question to ask.

When you hire for experience instead of aptitude, it's like trying to photograph Sasquatch with a macro lens.

I see company after company leaving postings open for months instead of just hiring someone and giving him some books to read for two weeks. I thought that was the point of brainteaser interviews--to find out how smart the interviewee is, aside from specific experience.

It is very clear to me that the system for hiring skilled labor in software is flawed at its foundations. There is plenty of supply out there. If you cannot fill your demand, it is for one of two reasons: your requirements are too narrow, or your offered amount is too low.

Is hiring someone fresh out of the diploma stamper and investing in a tiny bit of training really that horrible from a management perpective?
