I saw something here a few days ago in about "reading code for an interview". We were in the middle of hiring. And I decided to give it a shot. It was eye opening. Our stack is Elixir and I made the programmer tell me what a few functions were doing line by line and he aced it. I'm hiring him. (He does not know Elixir). This is completely right. Resume's are a waste of time. They don't tell you about any of the capabilities of the candidate. If anything some candidates are smart enough to make a really beautiful resume to fool you.
