Wow it actually makes a lot of sense. Especially since you seemed to handpick candidates and vouch for them from a technical point of view.
I wonder if classic recruiters have this problem as they (most of the time) just bet on the number and are not invested personally.
- georgemcbay 10y agoThe vast majority of tech recruiters have no actual idea of how skilled their employee-side client is and are just keyword correlation machines that happen to be made of meat. As such I doubt it impacts them much, if at all, beyond the obvious disappointment of not getting the salary cut, which they surely mitigate by just throwing candidates until one sticks.
