Okay, so the original argument is about whether or not it's worth it to fly people out for an on-site. Hotel and airfare: $2000 absolute max. Salary at $100/hr

Okay, so the original argument is about whether or not it's worth it to fly people out for an on-site. Hotel and airfare: $2000 absolute max. Salary at $100/hr for one month for me to figure out it's not going to work out, then pull the trigger to fire: $24,000.
I mean, being a manager is hard, but putting in the time and money to hire and then putting in the time to make sure your team doesn't have a morale drag, it's worth it.
- floating-io 2y agoThe catch is that even in-person interviews are no panacea. I agree that it's worth the time to filter -- I wasn't really responding to that bit -- but from what I've seen, you have to be a very good interviewer not to get a bad hire every so often. I often wonder how many hiring managers are actually good interviewers, in-person or not, but I digress... Seeing the truly bad hires dragged along to the detriment of the rest of the team is a sore spot for me, though. It happens way too often in my experience.
- chgs 2y agoIn person interview, or even coffee, filters out those who don’t actually exist and those who are reading answers from a screen (chatgpt/person) Seems to be 90% of the problem reported on this post
- KennyBlanken 2y ago$17k/month, not $24k? If you're paying people $290k a year, no kidding you should bring them in for an on-site interview?
- salomon812 2y agoOh geez, I see my math mistake. But even at $5k/mo, the point still stands.
