As per my CEO, it's ok to do endless interviews to find that one good candidate. It doesn't make sense to me but hey it's not my money. One of our engineering managers was complaining that they had to do 80 interviews to hire one candidate. Colossal waste of time and money. No wonder these companies are still not profitable.

Maybe you should buy a copy of this book [0] and subtly display it on your desk. Then hope he shows an interest to read it so you can gift it to him.

And that candidate leaves as soon as they find a better paying job.
In 2+ years, I've done 331 interviews to hire in single digits.
It could be your money. Money wasted doing this can't go towards your wage.
