I interviewed, three indian guys gave me a ridiculous technical grilling that was way over anything the role would entail.
Simple interview questions related to the debugger of whichever tool a developer has supposedly been using for the last 5 years sometimes exposes the blatant liars also. Google and online course material (for example, Udemy) usually skips over these areas, as the developer is assumed to learn through practice.

In my last tech interview, the guy asked what dollar sign was for in jQuery.
The one before that, we talked about Bavarian bier purity laws 1516. If you ever get asked about German beer at interview, it's worth noting that just because the brewery has been running for 300 years, it does not mean that quality control methods 100 years ago can be compared to today.‘His body, his mind and his soul are his capital, and his task in life is to invest it favourably to make a profit of himself.’ (Erich Fromm, ‘The Sane Society’, Routledge, 1991, p.138)Comment

Originally posted by rocktronAMP View PostThis seems to happening more and more this year.
I had calls from Arrows Group UK, which I have now blocked, where their people have poor English: "When you make the CV", "If you would be fine", "you can reply me back"
I don't want this agency to represent my contracting business. It seems like they have outsourced their recruitment consultants.
And then this morning I had an email from a different company outfit supposedly based in Harrow, HA1, London. They also had an office based in India Pty as advertised on the email signature.
The email was about a ____ developer job in central London for 6 months. So I thought okay, goody.
So I started reading:
The job description text appeared all in blue in my Gmail, and at the bottom of the email it read:
It was complete spam. I just thought this was basic-level bottom of the pyramid stuff. They obviously grabbed my details from JobSite or CWJobs website, because I am looking, but I now believe that this trend of clipper cheap-as-chips cowboy building contractor is very real. Somebody else out there falling for the hook like a fish and it ain't me.

Calls from these Indian companies are becoming intolerable. Such a waste of time.

Absolutely tulip loads of UK companies use Indian outsourced services. Especially for development. There probably isn't a company in the FTSE-250 who don't. And I'd be surprised if any of the largest 5,000 companies don't or haven't.
So what do you think you'll benefit by naming them?See You Next TuesdayComment

They will bend over for the client and do the needful when UK agents might not.Comment
