That's a better approach if you know the language well enough to analyze their code. I didn't write that list for people who already know how to hire good programmers.
- staunch 16y agoMy advice to people in that case is to pay some well respected person whatever it costs to help you hire (evaluate code samples at least). http://www.stonehenge.com/consulting.html http://www.stonehenge.com/consulting.html "Human resources hiring support, including interviewing and evaluating candidates" I would at least have someone like merlyn hire your first person. P.S. I do think it's a good list of basic Perl knowledge. Id on't think it's smart for someone who doesn't know the language to hire people though.
- chaosfox 16y agoso.. if you don't have any knowledge on perl and you want to hire a perl programmer you first.. hire a perl programmer to help you ? won't that put you back on the step 1 ?
- thomas11 16y agoIt's much easier to check the credentials of the relatively few people who offer such services. For the above example, you'd find that the Stonehenge people [1] have a long history of contributions to Perl and an excellent reputation.
