Troubles hiring people

    Ryan, we have troubles hiring senior developers as well though. My current theory is that the educational system built around information technology is fairly broken. I wouldn't hire many of the people I graduated with for instance, and there are a lot of other graduates I meet who seem to be missing basic skills from my perspective -- understanding of memory allocation at a basic level, understanding how how a machine actually works, that sort of thing. Universities seriously need to have a long hard look at themselves and the value they're offering their undergraduate students.

    So, does anyone have good hiring techniques they would like to share?
