Sometimes I see resumes (often from India) that show a developer has worked for years on a series of team projects that involve five or ten team members.  In this case, you often have to go back to some college project to dig up the evidence.  If you find an individual, from scratch project that the candidate is excited about, no matter how old, that is a good sign.  If not, the probability is very small that the candidate will succeed in a distributed team trial.
