So why in the world would you create your Rework site, espousing the "amazing" insights you guys have about HR and management processes, knowing that only a tiny select few others could survive with this model?
99.9% of companies cannot afford your rather snobby attitude of "were cool with losing 100 very good workers as long as we don't hire 1 wrong one".
- euyyn 11y agoI mean, it's not like the guy was involved in that site :) But in any case the hiring tips in it seem applicable to a good range of companies to me.
- tarblog 11y agoWhy? Because their applicant pool is too small? Or because the cost of doing that many interviews is so steep? Or something else? I intuitively had the exact opposite reaction: most companies can't afford to hire any bad people, but large companies with lots of resources actually can. If google's rate of poor hiring was higher than average, they'd still survive, at least in the short term, because they're so large and profitable.
