Across thousands of hires, can you hire all rockstars? When you hire 1,000 people, how many do you expect are underperformers?

- logfromblammo 8y agoNo matter how many people you hire, at least half of them are going to be at or below the median for your new employees. So I'd say 500. You'd have to be very good at hiring to get a lower number, and judging from my anecdata, companies that hire software pros use hiring processes that are terrible predictors of future performance, if not entirely useless.
