If 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.
