> Everyone doing hiring thinks they are the smart exception and everyone else is stupid. I apologize if I came off sounding like this. It certainly wasn't my intention. I just wanted to suggest partnering with and moving these types of discussion into the forums where they'd be helpful--those sources used by persons involved in and responsible for hiring decisions. I didn't mean to imply this was HR-dept-specific, or that small startups did not have the problem. I was just using that as shorthand for 'professionals who are responsible for hiring'. Maybe there are enough of them reading HN, but I'd also bet they rely on mgmt/hiring advice from other channels, as well.
