I've had interviews where I basically get asked "Are you fun to drink beer with?", but with more words.

And all I can think is "What a fucking waste of time this is."

Hire the people that you need to get the job done, not because they have the latest in hipster underwear.

My Requirements for hiring; 1. They can do the job well. 2. I can understand what they are saying. 3. They have a bath/shower at least once a week whether they need it or not.

The amount of people who fit into categories two and three is surprising high. These are the people I desperately want to hire but I can't.




"These are the people I desperately want to hire but I can't."

I desperately want to buy a 3-bedroom in London for £20k but I can't.


>not because they have the latest in hipster underwear.
