> When I was working in recruiting, the last thing either we or the client wanted was for the new hire to talk to either the person who they were replacing or any of the potential coworkers.

What the fuck? Am I a spoiled tech-bro, or does that sound completely insane to anyone else? I would 100% not take a job if I didn't get a chance to talk to my coworkers and future manager during the interview process.

Perhaps you are spoiled (as am I in that regard) but i would absolutely never take a job unless I knew who I was going to be working with and had a chance to ask them honest questions.

Seems like a trap set up for fresh out of college hires. I don’t know any senior developers who would even consider a job under those circumstances.
