New : HELPING YOUR TEAM SUPPORT EARLY-CAREER HIRES
The problem:
Your team is currently too busy to support your early-career (aka "junior") engineers. At the moment, you can't quite provide new recruits with the support they need.
My approach:
Where it makes sense, I offer to pair with your early-career engineer, to help them get up to speed more comfortably.
The goal is to engage in direct collaboration with your new team member, full-time over a period of a few weeks. This is to help new recruits improve faster in the following areas : attacking problems, gaining confidence, understanding collaboration, and asking "stupid" questions.
In an ideal world, this is work that your experienced engineers whould be doing... But many teams are stretched thin and just don't have enough time for this.

As this is an experiment, feel free to offer suggestions and alternative ideas.
