Being a hiring manager who has been burned in exactly that manner- technology competency hoops are now always a part of our IT hiring procedures.
My organization gives a computer skills tests to secretarial candidates, why can't I ask a finalist tech candidate to assemble a computer given a box of working components or write a small php page which looks up data from MYSQL?
An organization that does not properly vet candidates is simply irresponsible.
