I didn't know Capgemini is doing much outsourcing in India.

A lecturer at my university is by Capgemini. Do you have any more good stories?

It's technically a French company, but they have an incredible 50,000+ employees in India.

There was one development candidate I was interviewing who was speaking to himself in hushed tones, during the interview '...google...sql join...', 'YES, YES, JUST A MINUTE SIR', '...next page...no, no..ah..' etc. Quite ridiculous.

I have to interview about 20 shortlisted people to find 1 decent developer. Problem is it's difficult to use CVs/resumes to shortlist, since many are complete fabrications.

Normally I would say "what's wrong with knowing what to Google for and getting the right answer in a short enough time span to seem like a reasonable response to your dev question" since that's how many devs (who actually get stuff done) work. However, it's hilarious because the internet speeds are so slow in India that they probably would be better off actually spending the time in front of a reference book than waiting for their browser to crawl through Google.
