| Jun 23, 2017 at 21:43 | comment | added | Voo | @Oberst I can perfectly understand that attitude and the circumstances it comes with, but you should be aware that people will judge you on your interview process just as much as you judge them. And trying to hire the best people should always have top priority over pretty much everything else - that's just good mid-term planning. A good interview not just makes it more likely people will take the job, it also makes it more likely you'll find the right people you want to hire. | |
| Jun 23, 2017 at 17:49 | comment | added | Oberst | I agree with Dunk on this. As someone who just finished interviewing people for a new dev, who works in a startup, without an actual HR dept, where everyone is busy working on tons of things related to every aspect of their job... There is so much going on behind the scenes of an interview, we dont get time to practice what a good interview would look like. We're all too busy doing our real job, rather than studying lines to put on a play for someone. All Im saying is, dont be so critical of a company with a weird interview, especially without knowing all the details. | |
| Jun 23, 2017 at 17:21 | comment | added | Dunk | Hmmm...I draw the exact opposite conclusion or at least conclude that what you describe isn't the proper information to work with. Practice makes perfect. In regards to dating, people who are "players" tend to be quite exceptional at dating, especially first dates. That's why they are "players". They're well practiced. I wouldn't want to continue dating one of those people. Whereas, the person I really want to be with is that person that you bond with even though they may be inexperienced/awkward. Same goes for finding an employer, there's more important things to be on the lookout for. | |
