There's a reason a lot of companies and leaders have a "no assholes"
rule for hiring. All the help in the world isn't very useful if they
run everyone off and make people avoid the message boards, or in the
worst case, not want to contribute to BBSing in general.

I worked in one company, for a period of time, where IT management and HR hired cool smart people that got along well. One of my friends, who was a
BBS caller of mine was leaving to go back to school, and urged me to apply there.

I went through the interview process, and they ended up making a position
for me based on my skills, not looking much like the position I applied for. We ran a production e-commerce site with 8 people supporting everything, and it just *worked*.

We'd hired a systems architect, and I approved his hire based on the role.
The manager who built the IT department left to go work for the parent company, and instead of hiring someone new they promoted the architect - who no one had vetted as a people manager.

Within 3 months, he'd brought in a crony friend of his and his hires ended
up not blending in with the rest of the department. It had all changed by
the time I ended up following my old manager to the parent company.

I've hired a lot of people and interviewed so many people I've lost
count. The only odd personality that we missed was a weeb.

Thank you for my new word of the week.

This sort of thing and the behavior in other sub-boards turns people
away. Even the discussion about Star Wars and LOTR has now turned into trans, black elves, and drag queen story time (by MRO referencing buttplugs, of course).

I was thinking that it was time to take him out of my killfile. Maybe not.

from interviews where yes, you'd expect a person

would be on their *best* behavior.

100% agree with this. I also heavily interview.

It's surprising, but it happens, but people really do 'throw themselves under the bus' sometimes when giving answers which reveal their true character traits...

"I'M A PEOPLE PERSON!!!"

or

"Where would you like to be in 5 years?"

"Well, I'd have to say listening was my biggest weakness..."
