A manager told me once that he hires people as soon as possible because the requisition tied to hiring is time limited. Basically, was told he rather hire anybody off the street than wait for the right candidate because the chance to grow team will disappear. That, to me, is absolutely ridiculous for a company (Cisco) that is bent on steering the ship towards a more software centric driven culture. This needs to change, if finance approves budget for a hire they should help ensure the right person is found for the job. Anyone know how this works in other companies? #hiring #Cisco #finance
This happened to me at Salesforce. I was about to make an offer to an awesome candidate and the req got taken to hire a summer intern on another team. I got another req a month later but the candidate was long gone by then.
Happens in many places
