Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

That is true.

Two years ago, if I failed to reach out with an offer within 35 hours of finishing the interview, the candidate had already accepted one of the other two offers.

Today it seems like it can take two months for developers to have 3 competing offers. So if I end up needing to hire this year, I'll have the kind of leverage that lets me take the whole work week to interview every candidate I want to, before making an offer.

The great news for me is that some hiring managers I compete with saw the layoffs and decided it was safe to reveal themselves as assholes. That's going to make my job (of stealing their top talent) easier for many years to come, because people have long memories.
