It's weird how companies will hire another company to build a tech product and never ask to see examples of code or put them through white-board interviews. You just show them previous work and talk about what the client needs and how you can meet them.

But even in right-to-work states, to hire a person requires extensive hoop jumping for the employee. You can't just show them previous work and tell them how you can help them, you have to PROVE it with outlandish questions they may have little to do with the actual job.
