What frustrates you most about developers' hiring process?

While hiring developers for your organisation, what are the biggest challenges you have come across? If you could change some things in the hiring process, as a recruiter or a developer what would they be?

I would love to chat.

The most important thing for me is that the interview process is a true reflection of what you are going to do if you join the company.
