Featured Article I was listening to some podcasts recently where the contributors were talking about recruitment and how so many of us have got it wrong. The gist of the argument was that, in his company, everyone was paid the same amount for the same job. He did not allow people to negotiate better rates, or employ people merely because they sold themselves better at interview.He was saying that so much of the interview process meant companies hired good negotiators rather than people who were good for the job being considered. This particularly applies in software. The best programmers, for lots of reasons, seem to find human relationships far more trying than the relationships they hold through their computers, and an employer who takes someone on because they sell themselves well at interview, may not get the best programmer. This would apply to other professionals and certainly anything technical, yet we've all experienced those technical companies full of smart looking young people, who can talk a good patter and use all the right sales terms, but cannot make the systems work. Whereas some truly creative individuals may be left in their bedrooms, hacking away merrily, to subsequently come up with the next Google, Facebook or Microsoft. That geek could have been yours.
