I interviewed one candidate. He was a petroleum engineer in the desert site. After 3 minutes of interviewing and checking his code quality, without concern of his background at all, he failed.
One month later he comes back again and joins my team under my frontend buddy, not directly under me. He is hiding behind my colleague and using CEO connection.
I used to ask him his motivation to become a software developer. Surprisingly, his answer was "I would like to stay with my girlfriend".
Problems:
- Unable to perform even basic tasks without high levels of assistance
- Poor English
- Lack of focus
- Always has a phone call in the office. Everyday!
- Always arrives late to work
... etc.
Question:
Working with him is not only spoon feeding, but also chewing.
How can I convince him to find another career that is the best fit for him?
Staying in here just sit in and let the sunrise and sunset is damaging my colleagues morale too.
