I’ve been on the hiring side. It is hard but everywhere I’ve worked I’ve felt like it’s just been a fear reaction on the company’s side about possibly spending a dollar on a bad hire.

I had one position I was hiring for, for over a year where I just straight up told my manager that I didn’t care to interview anyone anymore until he was ok with them.

The process at every single place I’ve worked at was built to find a reason _not_ to hire someone because we might find the perfect candidate next week
