RE: /400 skills test

[Vance Stanley <w_vance_stanley@xxxxxxxxx>]

 You look at the resumes and pick 10 that stand out
And interview them. If none impress you then you
select another 10. Etc. You do not need a skills test
for that. If you do not have anyone that can asses
technical skills you could have a proven consultant
talk to them.
