That is a management problem, not a hiring problem.
A couple weeks ago I asked for specific examples in a similar discussion[1]. Most of the responses I got were partially or totally management problems that companies were trying to fix by modifying the hiring process. If your management processes are shit, then you do need to be extremely careful about who you hire, because one bad one can ruin your company. The root cause, though, is management, and the proper solution is to fix your management processes, not hire unicorns.

- AndrewKemendo 12y agoThis is funny because if you had watched the "How to start a startup" class you would have seen that almost no time was dedicated to management practices. Across the board on HN and in other hacker spaces, "Management" is universally derided as something worth studying. In practice it is hugely important and impactful but the tech community doesn't seem to care.
- mahyarm 12y agoYeah it's a management problem. But this 'grassroots management' policy that comes from their own incompetence that reflects into this trend. But that is only one possibility for the cause of the trend at a company.
