In my personal opinion, the big change we need to make in the industry is to make hiring of software engineers a responsibility of the engineering department, rather than the responsibility of HR.
To recycle part of one of my previous comments:
Engineering: We need to hire some more people.
HR: Why are you telling us? That's not our problem.
Engineering: ?!
some time later
Engineering: OK, we've found a guy we want to hire.
HR: Excellent. We can take it from here.
Note: I am not exaggerating for effect here. I am totally serious. The hiring of engineers should not be an HR problem.
- aml183 10y agoI think the one caveat to that point is then every department will argue they should handle their whole hiring process. It could then become that HR becomes decentralized and each department has it's own HR person. I don't know if this is good or bad.
