If you're looking for the coding jobs, ask them if:
- they have a github profile
- they have a stackoverflow profile
- they have a linkedin profile
(the latter will go for a CV - I actually used it when one $reasonably_big_and_known_company called me up wanting to hire me and wanted me to write a CV - I told them to use my linkedin profile, and it worked all right).
Arguably this is not a 1:1 relation - since there might be a lot of good programmers that do not bother to communicate much externally.
But if they have the presence, then you will be well able to judge their quality without having to ask them a single question. (I silently assume you can read code/judge programming questions - if not, then my blurb is of not much use indeed)
