I'm finding it's not a lack of qualified resumes, but a lack of qualified interviewers. I've encountered:
- the I've done this too many times to bother detailing what I'm asking code challenge
- the obscure hack I came up with, can you guess it? code challenge
- "You're excellent at UI code (for a UI role), but we're not sure you'll pass the code challenge because it's sorting algorithms, etc"
- backend coder as dev team manager doubting the need for proper UI/UX code for their 1.9 star-rated mobile app ("good product is a luxury")
- "we don't hire unicorns" (I have 15+ years of code experience, but I've designed for 20+)
- "Where do you see yourself in the future? Product manager? Engineers can't do that, so nevermind."
- "You shouldn't say you're here to learn the industry so you can start your own company someday. I mean, I'm cool with it, but other managers might not like it."
I'm not posting this list to complain, only to point out bugs. FWIW, I have also had very good interviews that didn't work out for rational reasons.
