Looking back, were they overqualified or underqualified? If you had tested the second guy's C++ skill (sounds like he couldn't have done Fizzbuzz in your interview), would you have disqualified him? If you didn't think C++ was that important, why ask in the interview? All I'm trying to get at is if you take your experience as a rule. The population of people who lie about their programming skills is unfortunately all too high. The subset who can make up the difference in two days, unfortunately all too small. I think a Google or Amazon has to play the percentages to keep a high bar. The cost of a bad hire reverberates through the organization.
