ggnnhh·4 năm trước·discussThe problem is that you hire someone legit that could pass any verification, but the person you talks to once hired is not longer the candidate.If you don’t notice it on day one, it’s almost impossible to detect it afterwards. The fake dev could be somewhat competent even and do a great job.
ggnnhh·4 năm trước·discussI’ve been the dev that replaced the strong candidate.It was even worse, I was simply the guy in the meetings, the actual work was done by another dev that I translated for.The best way to prevent it on remote teams is having the actual team in the interviews.I managed up to 3 other devs while having a full time job on my end. Managing 3 daily meetings is no easy task.The missions where short and we got fired only once, but that’s because the dev who was supposed to do the work was not up to the task.
