I&#x27;ve seen this as well.  We interviewed a guy, for a crummy position in our division of a Fortune 1000 company.  This guy was friendly, personable, had worked at Bell Labs and elsewhere, and knew the technical details back and forth.  The management didn&#x27;t want to hire him though - and this was after we had looked at hundreds of resumes and had interviewed well over a dozen people.  The only answer I got was &quot;I don&#x27;t think he&#x27;d like it if we called him at 3 AM to do something&quot;.<p>Then these people go out and cry about how they can&#x27;t find talented developers.
