Comment on Ask HN: Who are the engineers that don't get hired?parent

Comments

It sounds like the main problem is your focus on hiring senior people. Maybe you should go with Reid Hoffman's advice and try a junior person making a mid-career change. There will be more risk, but you stand to gain top-notch workers who the rest of the market ignore due to conservatism and credentialism.

Oh, we do hire junior people as well; it's just that you need at least a core of senior folks.
