I've seen this as well. We interviewed a guy, for a crummy position in our division of a Fortune 1000 company. This guy was friendly, personable, had worked at Bell Labs and elsewhere, and knew the technical details back and forth. The management didn't want to hire him though - and this was after we had looked at hundreds of resumes and had interviewed well over a dozen people. The only answer I got was "I don't think he'd like it if we called him at 3 AM to do something". Then these people go out and cry about how they can't find talented developers.
