Aye, but fixing this also fixes operational cost and other long-term costs. There is no power without knowledge+experience especially in high level roles. In the end, HR should extract the most value for the company, trying to combine inter

Thanks for reply Eric! I agree, and the problem is in the same way as with countries. Sure, you may have good leader and stability while the founder is alive - but once he goes, everything is ready to go up in flames. The various gravitatio

More or less unless you are considering Zuckerberg a cyborg. But jest aside, I was referring to a unique legal setup where he can not be forced out even if his decisions are catastrophically bad like whole thing with VR or good for sharehol

I think that for example Zuckerberg has built a structure where he is basically irreplaceable. It had to do with A/B shares where, while having a lot less shares, he made sure to have the controlling ones. While this is good while the

When it comes to this I think that the main problem is with hiring practices of people opa. If you do not have people with education either in legal/economy psychology you are not getting good People Ops team. You need to have a maximu

Thanks for the recommendation. London sounds interesting. I was focusing on Europe first to see if the situation changed from few years ago when it came to VC's and funding in general. The only need for any kind of investors in this ca

Tehnically, BB10 could run iOS apps at the beginning but, they disabled it before the release of PlayBook. Bad call.

The problem of the ghost jobs existing in first place is because of weak HR. HR that does not have education, can not be influential strategic personnel necessary to steward management toward right decisions. Ghost jobs are also an alternat

I think that old departments (personnel departments) should have been just modernized in reality. To be frank, in some cases a mix of HR/Legal department is cost saving too. What it really comes to is that a lot of people love to micro

As someone that works in HR, the incompetent HR combined with using AI for ATS ( or not knowing how to use ATS at all) is one of the core problems when it comes to losing quality candidates and is to blame for this. It should be illegal to

It really also depends on the country and lots of other factors.

Fair, but not strain in terms of storage space. More in terms of disk writes and how write intensive it could be, which can be a problem especially for SSDs.

Exactly. I think this is a massive problem, and also as someone that works on one of Ubuntu distributions, I always wonder how much strain it introduces together with flatpaks and snaps.

This article that I wrote yesterday, illustrates how the HR is barely functioning as a role, and how corrupted hiring has become, making in turn everything worse, for employee, employer and society.

I would like to add that (and not since I come from law background) today the HR can be mostly automated for a lot of stuff as other said in this thread. Some processes such as personality tests can be outsourced to outside psychologist. I

Exactly. Plus the external recruiter is dependent on the hiring performance. At the end of the day, the external recruiter does not have luxury to hire a bad candidate like a internal talent manager, since that can kill contract and possibl

Not quite. Would expand on it more but there are character limits on HN. My main point is that if you are coming from other field, you need to prove yourself - take the necessary education, some kind of courses, earn a certificate that prov

The problem is, this became a behavior that is encouraged. Whether posting job ad is free or payed, a lot of companies do this to gain additional exposure, advertising themselves actually via job ad. As an HR professional, I have seen this

You could use something as a Employer of Record. Companies such as Oyster or Remote.com offer that along with payroll management. Plus, the employee is technically employee and not contractor, since the EoR takes all necessary steps to regi
