Ask HN: How do you hire people?

2 pointsby waximover 10 years ago
We&#x27;re a small company looking for a killer JS dev, to build a node-webkit app for us. As we&#x27;re a small team and we&#x27;re on kind of a budget we&#x27;re focusing on the slightly lower end of the &#x27;top&#x27; candidates and trying to focus on people who have killer aptitude.<p>The position is paying up to 50k, it&#x27;s just outside of London (UK) so we think its a fair price, however, the CV&#x27;s we&#x27;ve been getting though they read well when we get the candidates in the room they are beyond useless, can&#x27;t even answer simple JS questions!<p>So I want to know, How do you guys hire? What&#x27;s your process?<p>Also, where do you look? Agencies have sent us these guys and I&#x27;d surprised if any of them can tie their shoes let along code a mapping application :(
