Hello all,<p>In my job at the moment I'm going to be looking to hire a software developer to work on our project.  However, we currently don't have any programmers in the company so doing any testing of how candidates write code and the quality of said code is going to be nigh on impossible to judge.  The most I've worked with are scripting languages and this job will require C/C++.  Does anyone have any advice on how to go about testing in a situation like this?  Feedback from both hiring/applying sides of the process would be really appreciated.<p>Thank you!
