I had a similar situation with a junior dev in our team some time ago. He would only ever contribute a sentence or 2 into any meeting when asked upon, otherwise would be silent.

We discussed it and tried a few things, but ultimately what worked for him was to write down some bullet points about what he wanted to say before a meeting. This gave him time to do the thinking up front and relaxed him greatly.

Turns out he was really quite clever and chatty. It can just be very intimidating to think and talk on the spot amongst a group of experienced peers.

Completely agree with this. Personal projects, blogs, etc are tools which can help pass barriers in the interview process. Normally these barriers are later in the process.

One thing I haven't seen anyone touch on here is that I think this is more relevant early on in someone's career when there is less visible history on candidates.
