If over half the developers are worthless... You've got bigger problems, tho. A headhunnter fee is 30K.[1] Take 30K and divide it by 50, and you have over 600 hours to play with. Lets save ~85% and take 100 hours as your budget @ 2x the cost. That would cover how many work-sample tests? (take your pick) 20 peple x5hrs or 24x4hrs which should be a good funnel. What's wrong with this approach? [1] Assume a 100k position., which is also $50/hr on 2000 hrs/year.
