On the flip side, hiring is much easier since the employer doesn't have to go through so much red tape for hires that don't work out. There's tradeoffs to each method.
- HarryHirsch 7y agoIf hiring is so easy, why does everyone complain about how hard it is to hire someone competent? Employers inflict on the candidate two rounds of phone screening, a take-home project, two rounds of on-site interviews, psychometric testing, augury from flight of birds, augury from feeding of chickens, a haruspicium, diversity statement and inquiry from the I-ching, and despite all these measures they still complain how hard it is to hire a decent programmer.

- edmundsauto 7y agoThe act of hiring is still very difficult. However, the risk of a poor hire is less. That makes companies less risk averse.
- michaelt 7y agoImagine how you would treat a really great employee - someone you certainly wanted to retain. Would a person getting that treatment from you quit for a job where 10% of people got fired after the first month?
