      <description>&lt;p&gt;My client is looking to hire senior backend developers with good written and verbal communication skills that can be in the office 2-3 days per week.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;They&amp;rsquo;re also undergoing a &amp;ldquo;strategic workforce reshaping with global delivery partners&amp;rdquo; which means they&amp;rsquo;re hiring low-cost developers from the large outsourcing companies: Cognizant, CGI, Accenture, and Tata. I&amp;rsquo;m not privvy to the agreements that are struck with these vendors but I can speak to the strain this strategy puts on engineering teams. We&amp;rsquo;ve screened and interviewed dozens of candidates and haven&amp;rsquo;t made a single hire.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;TL;DR My client is paying top dollar for enterprise licenses for a platform that their own policies prevent people from using.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My enterprise client has a few open roles for developers so we&amp;rsquo;ve been asked to interview candidates. After the first batch of resumes we decided that we needed to do some pre-screening because the agencies certainly were not.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I reached out to the client&amp;rsquo;s recruiting department to ask about getting access to a technical screening platform like &lt;a href=&#34;https://coderpad.io/&#34;&gt;CoderPad&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.codility.com&#34;&gt;Codility&lt;/a&gt;, or &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.hackerrank.com/&#34;&gt;HackerRank&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
