the majority can easily be tested and punted
Matches my experience posting a job for full stack developer. 600 applications, most of whom weren’t qualified. 2/3 of the remainder lied on their resumes.
I’ve never seen this in 40 years of hiring and building dev teams.
I feel very thankful to have caught the IT wave back in the late 80s. I took it for granted back then and now realize how fortunate I was.
A bunch of gobbledygook .
You could hire someone who knows how to learn. You could mentor. You could groom. You could train. Find someone who is 80% of what you are looking for and then get them up to 100%. No? That's not in the budget? You require absolute perfection right out of the gate? Well, it might be hard to find that person. And it's only going to get harder.
I checked out when 3 or 4 guys asked me how I could produce a query, based upon part no. that had 2 tables which had, a master file table mind you, which had different attributes of the same component. Is that an inner our outer table join?
Hiring managers and companies have been total asshoes for going on 20 years.
It’s no wonder developers are grasping at straws.
Please mail in your resume using $10 in postage.
Watch the problem of too many obviously unqualified applicants disappear.

LOL
The referred and recruited have long been preferred over unsolicited and ad-responding applicants.
But an increasingly national or even international job market, with tech making ever more applications possible, makes the raw numbers climb. Reminds me of applications to college. The easier it became to submit many applications, the more applicants per slot were reported. Still the same number of total applicants and slots, but the numbers got juiced all around.
I believe this ties into something important. If all these people are looking for work, WHY DO WE NEED H1-Bs? *SURELY* there’s SOMEONE qualified for each of these positions in the flood of candidates.
I’m glad I’m retired.
