> However, the data that I have available to me as a hiring manager is the sample of developers who actually applied to my job. Actually, you only have the sample of developers you interviewed for the job. How many didn't get an interview? Are you confident that your resume filter is good and that the resumes rejected were actually bad? > Meanwhile a friend of mine with barely any experience had to apply to about 50 places before getting a single offer. Following up my previous point, how many interviews did that yield? The discussion here is over developers who look like idiots in the interview. Confusing that with applications clouds the discussion.

> Actually, you only have the sample of developers you interviewed for the job. How many didn't get an interview? Are you confident that your resume filter is good and that the resumes rejected were actually bad? More specifically, I have the sample of developers who I did a phone screen with. I'm reasonably confident that my resume filter is "good" in the sense that it's not rejecting people prematurely. If your resume shows any hint that you'd be able to do the job (ie. any amount of programming job experience and/or a CS degree) then I'm willing to give you 15 minutes. > Following up my previous point, how many interviews did that yield? A dozen or so. I'm deeply skeptical that the pool of applicants would be better than the pool of interviewees.
