Why should hiring anybody being fair and objective?
Life isn't fair and objective, business isn't fair and objective.
I want the best person I can get (for a very, very subjective definition of 'best') for the cheapest I can get and keep them (both employed and happy). That's not fair, that's life.
- raganwald 15y agoI don't recall saying anything about fair. As for objective, what I said was for those people who refute the question objectively on the basis of false negatives, I challenge them to come up with an alternative that has zero false negatives. This was simply an observation about the difficulty of being objective without excluding qualified applicants. In fact, I expclitly allowed for the possibility of saying that you choose your hires subjectively. Could we be in "violent agreement?"
- count 15y agoI think so - I don't see any way for hiring to be objective, unless it was completely random (and does that even count?). So, lets go with violent agreement.
