These are very true. However, if you have to fire someone right away, it’s usually because you didn’t tell them something, especially that you fire quickly, and common reasons why. You as the employer have all the power of discovery, not them. The simplest thing to do is show the candidate exactly what they are going to do. Don’t describe it, actually show the code base and the devops setup and the meeting schedule and the reports that go out and the planning documents and knowledge base and whatever else they’ll need to engage with. Tell them their exact goal for the first year, and exactly what they get if they achieve it. In other terms, give them the SOP, OPORD, and pre-flight checklists before they reassign. What is obvious to you is not to them.
