| Fundamentally, I don't accept that there is, in general, a shortage of "good people" in the USA. I responded earlier [1] to someone who thinks there is. Instead of continuing to follow up with just that one person, I'd like to propose an interesting "experiment" for hiring managers: Do an Ask HN, linking to a recent representative
job posting you haven't been able to fill
I'd like to see all the relevant details, such as:1) the job posting, of course 2) company name, location, salary range 3) are the usual requested perks applicable, e.g. flex time, work from home, etc? 4) what kind of resumes are you seeing? How many? What, in general, has been wrong with those people? Then I'd like to see HN posters dissect the information. Let's find out if the requirements are realistic. Let's find out if the company's reputation is toxic. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7452376 |
