Apprenticeship? Actually spend time working with them on real work.

It's both hard and doesn't scale.

The problem is that you have 100 applicants and one apprentice slot.

You don’t have 100 candidates though - you likely have 90 applicants that just fail to meet the basic criteria. I hire for games and every single job posting we make for programmers we get about 10% of applicants who have literally never programmed before, even for lead level roles .

		Well, these days you'll have 1000 candidates, you drop the 900 that fail to meet the basic criteria, and you're left with 100 that you can't immediately tell are frauds.
