We give a take-home problem. If we like the code we see, we invite the candidate to come in and pair with one of our devs in adding a simple feature or two to their own code. It's time consuming, but not so time consuming as hiring a weak dev. -- Cheers, Simon B. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
