    Need to hire someone

    I need to hire someone. I need a good dev with some commodity skills, and the agency I came through (+ the others I tend to deal with when I'm looking) are a bit niche so they don't really have anyone suitable and keep sending us all sorts of jokers and chancers, of which we already have quite enough thank you very much.

    What is the best way to go about locating the right person?
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        Core Skills:

        Java. Web Services. XML. Modern development practices (CI, TDD etc). Good design & problem solving skills.

        Technical interview question #1:

        You have a tree data structure that you need process, doing something different with each leaf in turn, and collating the results into another parallel tree. How would you go about that?

        There is a question #2 for people who do well on #1.

                Not good enough it would seem.

                    I just asked someone question 1 in their phone Interview. I didn't bother with question 2.

                    I'm looking for some intelligent questions and a high level answer with extra points for namedropping a couple of GoF patterns. Is that too much to ask?
