HR usually don’t do recruiting except for interns. Recruiting is usually farmed out to recruiters. Either way, I have never met anyone in Hr or recruiters that have technical knowledge to ask these questions . If they did, they wouldn’t be in HR or a recruiter…

What one company did that I interviewed for was interesting. They made candidates take an online test. Interesting idea.[/quote]

You need new recruiters unless this was a total one off f-up on their part. Any technical recruiter working the sub-field should be able to ascertain if the candidate is writing fiction on their resume. What the recruiter did was just throw darts at the board to see what sticks.
