HR folks are known for wanting only the blandest of employees and probably will look for any reason to disqualify a candidate whose "lifestyle" is cause for concern. Still, it's a shockingly high number and makes me wonder what else might fall under that "lifestyle" category.
- pw0ncakes 17y agoIt probably has to do with the fact that HR decisions don't have much of an upside. If you make a good hire, it reflects well on him. If you make a bad hire, people question your judgment. You have an upside in hiring if you'll directly work with the people you hire. If you're in an entirely different department, there's no real benefit. HR is just the gatekeeper.
