If you're right, demand 2x your salary, because the industry's track record on this is abominable.

There's a company that turns up here on HN sometimes that claims to find the best engines. They were looking for part time remote screeners/ evaluators. I figured I'd apply. Filled out some stuff online, and then their system wanted me to take a test on java script or something - not my language. It was then that I knew they don't really know how to interview people, so I stopped the application process.
