I'm prompted to ask this from this reddit comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/4paeff/what_does_socalled_top_talent_actually_look_like/d4jf9df
Now, I've only been involved in hiring decisions a few times but I feel I've been able to identify someone's level of experience and capability pretty quickly (in about an hour).
I would be interested in testing this out more to see if it's something I can do. Is this something that would be valuable to companies? How could I go about proving it to myself and then selling this service if I am capable?
