It’s amazing how rarely this question is asked outside the context of specific technology skills.
- mooreds 9y agoI think it is a harder question than just "what technical skills are needed", but good hiring managers and team builders think about it.
- thisisit 9y agoI have never understood the need for a moonshot applicant - someone who is good at everything. Most of the time people spend hours interviewing lot of people looking for that one brilliant engineer but as the reality dawns on them, they end up hiring who has some essential skills. Later they bemoan that he/she is not good at an non-essential skill. At that time when you say, well, why don't we hire someone with those non-essential skills? It comes down to money.
- marcinzm 9y agoI think more broadly people just don't think as much as they should about what they really (and realistically) need in a hire and if their hiring process actually selects for that.
