If that's true, that it's not well-correlated, why haven't companies figured this out yet? You'd think someone would be paying attention when there's money involved.
- ForHackernews 12y agoI'd say several reasons: 1) People are people and ingrained biases and social pressures are incredibly powerful forces. 2) The amounts of money are tiny ($1,000-$20,000) relative to a large company's operating budget. It's the same reason businesses overspend on airfare and SaaS products. 3) The hiring manager isn't spending their own money. It's no skin off their back if they pay a new hire an extra five grand.
