- nyokodo 2y ago> Or for some industries back channel checks in network Even in small-world industries, assuming they occasionally accept outsiders, they will still encounter some form of this problem.
- Havoc 2y ago>assuming they occasionally accept outsiders I guess it comes down to industry. We're on hn so emphasis is on technical ability and in that context what you say is true. I'm in a space that requires trustworthiness is part of the core value proposition so there is little acceptance of outsiders and much emphasis on back channel checks that the candidate is solid. NK fake candidate etc is just not a thing in that context
