You certainly are biased. Otherwise you can't generalize a statement like this.

There is no reason to doubt anybody for what he/she claims but who stops you from taking a thorough test of knowledge ? After all, final judgement is yours. Of course, you should be knowledgable enough to give a proper test.

It happens so often with me .. I get an offer without a technical interview. Why ? Simply because the person taking interview is not competant enough. If people sitting at top as Managers don't know the subject, why do you blame consultants for it ? You have to either enhance your own knowledge or give them the benifit of doubt.
