That’d be odd though. HR usually have no weight on the decision making. If HR does, I wouldn’t want to work there. I wouldn’t expect the legal team influences me hiring a junior developer. It is rhe manager’s responsibility to budget.
HR / legal might have a say when it comes to hiring like a C-level executive.
- lovich 9y agoThat may be the case in some places, but every company I've worked at has had HR have some say in hiring. The worst place was one where it didn't start out that way until the head of HR played some political move and refused to process the paperwork for any hires unless they had gone through their SilkRoad software and been vetted by HR first. We immediately went from getting some decent candidates in interviews to suddenly interviewing people who didn't know what loops were but had listed 10+ years of experience as a software engineer on their resume

- lovich 9y agoA bit late but I forgot to add the worst case I've ever seen. We had hired a new dev who was going to take over a senior position when we had multiple openings for over 6 months. The offer had been signed and returned when the head of HR rescinded the offer. When pressed for a reason why, his exact quote was, "We aren't the Yankees, were like the Oakland A's. Were just looking to get on base, not to be number 1"
- lovich 9y agoEnterprise tax software, and selling data to hedge funds were the two worst for that
