No, I do not even accept applications from India. The credentials are usually faked and the work sloppy.

if your problem is geeksforgeeks culture (which translates to poor knowledge of software coding standards I guess), then you're clearly not filtering your candidates well enough. Does your interview process has any debugging or refactoring rounds?

Sorry bro. I am a college student in India and that's just my observation.

the fake credentials problem is true, especially if you're hiring recent grads. but isn't that really simple to filter?
