You can't just hire someone based on their reputation at a company of any maturity. That's a legal and HR nightmare. There has to be a process with a semblance of objectivity, and that process has to demonstrably apply to everyone equally, always.
- chadash 4y agoHiring based on reputation is the same as hiring based on resume. And it's extremely common in almost any company. Why would it be a legal or HR nightmare?
- asdff 4y agoWhich in practice means you put out a fake job posting where the qualifications uncannily mirror this persons resume to a tee, and you hand them the job formally after a week.
- closeparen 4y agoYes, but the forms must be observed. You can't just skip the interview, or give people you like a softball interview compared to other candidates.
- asdff 4y agoI've been in situations where I was already somewhat working and onboarding while the faux job ad was up for the two week or however long mandatory posting period. tallied the hours separately and got paid back after i was hired.
- tsimionescu 4y agoI can't at all imagine why this would be the case. Why would a company have any kind of liability for hiring biases such as reputation (except for systematically refusing candidates from protected groups, of course)?
