Instantly throw them out the door:
- If they only know Javascript or Boo
- If you ask them about OOP and they never use the words "inheritance" or "polymorphism"
- If they aren't familiar with event driven systems

Consider someone else:
- If they are not familiar with generics or abstract classes in C#
- If they cannot tell you what a vector is.
- If they cannot tell you what a raycast is.
- If they think manually entering all data that is game related in Unity's inspector is a good thing to do.
