This is companies being lazy. Do technical tests when hiring. Also trust people, and trust people will grow better. In my hiring experience I have seen really good devs evolve in very short time from mnay backgrounds.
I agree with the "trust" part. But for me, hiring test are a mistakes. There's no way I can perform as good in interview as behind my computer. We've all done personal project at one point or another (at github or not), better show that.
