This is not what I've been told by many, many hiring managers over the past few years.

> Finding people who continue to give a fuck the moment their trial period is over is difficult.

Well... yeah? I've been saying for years now that if passion is a hard requirement to getting a job, then you're begging your applicants to lie to you.

Caring about the work is not passion. Most of the time work involves politics, paperwork and dealing with all sorts of things that people don't like. I doubt anyone is passionate about this type of thing.

It's really easy. The problem they have is finding technically competent people in the desired budget.

Disagree. Openly offer a million dollars a year and the extra competent people you get will be buried under a neigh uncountable number of additional pretenders. So no matter what you pay it's never easy.

AND then the HR sociopaths filter out anyone not neurotypical who wouldn't have any issues doing the job, but is otherwise weird.

The fact that they accept most of the pretenders because they do a better job of acting normal is the worst part, because there are many more. dropping half the qualified isn't many people, letting half the pretenders through is a large number.
