I keep hearing of this huge shortage of developers, but the situation I have encountered while looking for a job seems to be saying something else.
Is there really a lack of good talent, or is the recruiting process so horribly broken that good developers don't make it through the first levels of filtering by non-technical people?
I think you have a point. We are trying to hire at a large company and we don't see many resumes that make it through the HR filter. I still haven't figured out how this process works.
