Well, I'm looking for good software engineers. Getting someone who is a good software engineer but isn't great at personal connections for getting a new job doesn't sound like a huge loss.
- waterlesscloud 11y agoWhiteboard away then! Tho seriously, here's the question I'd ask of you... Is that working out for you? It sounds like it's not, since you're still looking. Maybe it's time to step back and reevaluate your process.
- EliRivers 11y agoWe're always looking, and when I see a sizeable company that isn't, I consider it a warning note. We have a high proportion of surprisingly high quality software engineers, from a number of European nations (a very international mix, now that I think about it). Good people move on, be it moving on within a company or without, and where I work the product is relatively narrow, so people tend to move on by leaving. I expect to be moving on myself within the next two years. When you have more than a dozen or so high quality software engineers, someone is always leaving. I advise the youngsters that if they ever find themselves in the same job and the same role for five years, they need to start thinking about their exit and get on with it. In my opinion, our process is working well, thank you. There is no whiteboard involved.
