Hill recommended. “Same with looking for a single version like Mint. Get that in your job header and make sure it is searchable by keyword.”
That is about the worst advice for hiring that I could imagine.
- dsr_ 15y agoHeck no. The worst advice would be far worse. [Insert evil Catbert-HR scenario here.] This is just not particularly useful advice. More useful advice would be on the order of: Make sure you mention the specific software you are using, but don't rule out candidates with good experience in different software. A sysadmin with Debian and Red Hat under her belt can easily take on your CentOS and Mint servers. A developer with years of C++ and Perl experience will pick up Ruby fairly quickly. It's generally more important to find someone smart, clever and reliable than to find someone who already knows exactly what you're using.
