Yes absolutely, I am looking for framework that will be included in the platform to be able to asses someone and determine those accurately skills to have them in the CV it is not easy and it is a challenge, overall those skills can make a teammate be valued among others. The AI interviews part is becoming very common as well, this is the issue I wanna solve since it is very easy to fake it while remote. I have another question, have you ever faced with getting a perfect candidate during interviews this person passes fully it is great, everything matches but then after 1 or 2 months the just completely flip and are not the candidate(now employee) what you tought and everyone else tought they are? | ||||||||

> Hiring managers really prefer to retain their people and not have to rehire In my experience, the only time a hiring manager has had the authority to overcome HR mandated maximum percentage wages was when my manager was a director/CTO and I was a strategic employee. That’s what causes “salary compression and inversion.” Line level managers who most junior developers report to are completely useless when it comes to almost anything except for advice about dealing with the politics of the organization and reaching across teams. You may sincerely want to retain talent but (the royal ) you probably don’t control budget. If you are working in a large tech organization, the promotion process still goes through a committee and is out of your control. Even when you do get promoted, you’re probably going to be making less than a new hire coming in at your same level. Getting back to the uselessness of line level managers, when I was interviewing to be a “strategic hire” for two companies between 2016-2020 before I got into consulting, one of my conditions was that I would report directly to the person who had signing authority for budgets and/or major decisions so I wouldn’t have to deal with powerless line level management. | ||||||||

Yes. So, I work for a defense contractor and we can hire somebody into a start date within a week, but it might take a couple of months before they can enter the office, even online. During this period is where most people fall apart. Either they cannot get their administrative requirements together, cannot get their required certifications complete, or end up with a competing job they find better. They have not even gotten to the social interaction part of the job yet, but we are already starting to get a sense of their ability to lean in and participate by the time all their roles and permissions come in. Then we have a 90 day evaluation period where I write something up and sit down with the employee. I have never had anybody fail out by this point due to performance. With on-boarding so long everybody has time to really settle in. Even after they can come into the office/online there is still a honeymoon period. From a supervisory perspective it gets real at the 6 month or 12 month evaluation based upon the volume of assignments and quality of participation. I am super chill as a supervisor so as long as the employee gets their work in at the client's timeline, keeps the client happy, and is as helpful as possible to the rest of the team everything is kosher. I have released candidates for negative performance almost never, but it has happened. I have had an Army general officer tell me in the past that to get there they just have to do the job they are assigned and don't put their boss in hot water. I heard the exact same thing once at Bank of America, and it works for me as well. The people that bubble up for promotion tend to be the people that accomplish the most from the least effort, not the harder workers, because those are the people that can be assigned their same job plus an additional job. That does not mean taking shortcuts either. Part of doing more means overwhelmingly helping people in the present for building out relationships to leverage into the future. | ||||||||
