You can have 20 years of experience or 20 one year experiences.
- nicoburns 6y agoYou can also be straight up lying about having 20 years (or any) experience. Most people won't be doing this, but it seems like a basic feature of a hiring process to have some kind of check against this.
- pluc 6y agoThe check is what the candidate says, isn't it? If the candidate lies, you will know the day you hire them
- nicoburns 6y agoIsn't the idea that you know before you hire them so that you hire the right person?
- pluc 6y agoYeah, but you know when you obtain the information - which would be reading it on their resume or talking through it with the candidate. Asking them to confirm what you've been told is my issue with this whole thing
- base698 6y agoAlso common is someone with 20 years at the same company that's has been coasting. Maybe they still work on a decades old enterprise app and have no relevant recent experience. Lots of jobs aren't all that demanding.
