What do hiring companies do if they have 1 position open, but find 2 candidates that are essentially a tie, and can't choose between them? Would they have both of them do a trial project? Could that have happened here?
- tedmiston 4y agoI think this is the most probable explanation. And the candidates needn't even be a tie. Maybe they have one candidate that's less experienced or a significantly less expensive hire but that is sufficient enough for what the role requires. It can be really difficult to make a call like that, but at the end of the day, the smaller the company is, the more tightly controlling runway and burn rate could increase chances of survival. I think this matters less once a company passes a sufficient headcount threshold. It's hard to draw a specific line in the sand, but perhaps ~75–100 people.
