The main piece is going to be WPF experience(about 1-2 years).
They would need to do a Face to Face for the final interview.
C#, SQL, and WPF are the top skills.
Top Three Skills:
1- WPF- Data Binding: This is one of the main things that they will be screening on(most candidates that miss are not strong enough with WPF/Data Binding. They will dig in deep to the WPF knowledge.(we have a current on the team that will do a technical assessment on WPF)

Job Description:
Currently, Nationstar is looking for a .NET Developer to help with the Development and enhancements for their internal applications. There is going to be little to no maintenance work because they have resources that will be responsible for BAU work. They want someone who is able to create detailed technical documentation of systems enhancements that include: Design Specifications Documents, Report Guides, Systems Descriptions Documents, and Change Control Forms. Deliver efficient code that minimizes systems performance impacts and minimizes post-installation issues. They will spend most of their time doing New Development within new and existing applications.
The candidates MUST have very good experience with WPF and Data Binding. They are essentially looking for someone who has done more than just one project within WPF, bc typically someone who has only had limited working experience with WPF do not make it passed the technical assessment.
Additional Information:
They would like someone who has prior mortgage experience, but it is not a deal breaker. This manager has not had that much luck with resources that are coming from large financial institutions(such as BOA, JPMC)-He is not opposed to someone with that background, but it has been his experience that they have a tendency to be pigeonholed within certain technology and they dont do well on his team. He ideally would like someone that has come from a smaller 1-3 person shop bc they have had to worn different hats, is more well rounded, and able to adapt quickly to the changes thrown at them.
We have a follow up time with this Manager for Wednessday 11-18-15 @ 8:30. this is not officially open in the VMS so there is very limited competition.
