What a horrible idea for a piece of software. That's just mean spirited.

Sometimes it's worth doing a phone interview, as applicants with English as a second language may just have significantly worse written skills than spoken. As long as they can communicate verbally, then it might not be that relevant. I am assuming that you're all working at the same geographic location, thus making talking way more important than email.

Sorry to spoil the party, but why on earth is this on HN?

Is it me, or is actually targetting hackers with a 419 a bit like a buffalo trying to hunt lion?

One test I commonly use in interviews is to ask candidates to write a function to sum up an array of values. A scary volume of them can't manage it at all.

I am Tom Williams, Lead Engineer at Dubit Limited (we're here: http://dubitplatform.com), and I'm looking for many devs. We'll look at anyone from Uni graduates to people with years of experience, the only prerequisite is you've got to be a passionate coder! You'll get much kudos for community involvement though, even more so if it's on something exceptionally cool. In return we promise to get you a cake for your birthday, and as much scooter action as you can handle.

The repos are read only though. Thankfully!

If anyone would give me one that'd be awesome http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01k3Fhyp3ZmrXcmbYtTnsPLA==...
