This is the most puzzling thing I have read in a long time.

In my current job, I manage offshore teams. I have hired a lot in the past couple years because we have grown a lot and turnover tends to be high for entry level positions.

I don’t find hiring particularly emotional. You are basically looking for a skillset and a mindset compatible with the work environment. I agree that you are indeed trying to build a relationship but that’s a professional one. The essence of it is evaluating the candidate ability to do the job. There is no tension here. You are not looking for a friend.

I mean if you find it hard to politely tell someone you are not going to offer them a position when you don’t believe them to be a good fit, you are probably doing something wrong.

This is not the same thing. At all.

Of course you're not particularly emotional; these are low-stakes hires that aren't even in the same country. The process is likely a fraction of the time for a fraction of the money.

Maybe it's gotten better in recent time, but you also get mediocre results with hiring fast and cheap + offshoring.

:facepalm:

Turnover is high for _entry positions_.

Managing multiple teams mean I also hire their managers and the people here in charge of the whole things. I don’t feel more emotional then than then. Hiring is a skill conducted in a professional environment with all that implies. That was the main point of my comment (I’m highlighting because you obviously missed it).

Why be so uncharitable in your reading? It doesn’t make you look smart.
