from my exp. hiring for ages, they interview lots of people, then it goes quiet - nothing comes of it.
6 months later you hear some nepotistic hire takes the position.
maybe companies prefer people they know rather than 1000s of applicants.
also a toxic culture of seeking perfection and a cargo culting attitude prevalent among many senior/lead engineers and managers. maybe justified, i dont know and i dont care anymore.
- meowfly 3y agoI have a theory that a lot of the jobs listed are to prove you tried to find qualified candidates before you hire a developer's friend. In defense of hiring friends: If the referer is considered a trustworthy employee, it's probably going to be your highest information hire.
