Job Description -
The ideal candidate is someone who can communicate effectively. Not only speak clearly but speak like a consultant, offer advice, carry a conversation, be a problem solver and super engaging and talk about what options/ solutions are available instead of just someone who writes code. That is why we are struggling to make any placements. I'm gonna be more difficult when evaluating the candidates. If they are good then I will prep them and help them be successful. If not and even if they are the best developer around, I will have to pass on them if they can't have "a basic chat about things other than code"
