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.

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.
