Do you find that junior hires are typically inflexible when it comes to personality and or coding skills? Or are we talking about more experienced hires who shouldn’t need as much investment and resources to get up to par. As a college senior who’s terrible at recruiting, I’m confused about employer expectations in this regard.
- tenpoundhammer 7y agoI was referring to the whole range. Skills are much easier to teach than personality improvements, but it's still very resource intensive to train some one with very few skills. Often times we make a conscience decision to hire a junior engineer but expect negative productivity for 3 - 6 months and then very little productivity for the first year or so. For personality traits if someone is setting off red flags that they would cause a lot of conflict and issues it's an easy pass. It's extremely difficult and unreliable to attempt to coach someone into changing their personality. It's also just really emotionally draining for the person that has to do the work. If you would like to get in touch I would be happy to provide some Job hunting coaching free of cost. Send an email to my temp email account i5kjl5+8ydjdw8gaoikw@sharklasers.com
