> Do you think there is any way to rescue this situation? No. Let them go and move on. This is the problem with title inflation and it happens all the time. How did you evaluate this candidate for this role exactly? Some candidates are great at acing the interviews (since 90% of the time it is measured on predictable leetcode puzzles) but as soon as the real work begins, the new hire lacks basic skills, asks for too much help on issues that can be solved by 5 second googling or they take extremely long on simple tasks. If you used Leetcode and yet this was the result, then perhaps you might need to find another way of evaluating actual 'senior' hires. A wrong hire is worse than no hire. Not only the money is spent but time is also wasted and will be wasted further by training.
