Some Signs I've found in GREAT Coders

Over the many years I've reviewed potentially millions of resumes.   I can't remember them all, but I try my best.  There are various things I have found in these professional profiles that can indicate a GREAT coder versus an OK one.  Of course this really all depends on your specific need, but if you are looking for some long term folks for your organization, ones that can grow as your needs grow, there are some specific things you can look for in a resume to queue you into this potential.

There are always the general items, lets say you're looking for a mid level developer.  One that can code in a few specific languages but broad enough to look for solutions to your greater coding problems.  The usual review will yield their gains in experience.  The usual list of specific language hard skills for which you are searching.  The gains in responsibility as the the years progressed, or in vice versa, as most resumes start with the most recent experience.  You've reviewed the resume, found the items you look for in a possible candidate.
