One word for you: foreigners (or people that English is not their main language).

Very capable, very smart and awesome to work with (most of the time), but can make some silly mistakes when writting in english... Specially on things that a spell checker wouldn't catch.

Not unfair, but you could miss a lot of good people by doing that.



Missing good people isn't the issue when hiring, hiring bad people is.


Not when it is so hard to find qualified people...


No, even then.
