Re^4: Googlish approach to voting/XP?

But if you know what being a Saint on Perlmonks means, you would not work in HR

My company is not large enough to have an HR department so I decide who we hire and who we don't, usually with input from others.

Not having an HR person can be a bind, but mostly, it is a big relief...I'm not looking forward to the day that I delegate recruitment to someone else but that day will come if we are going to achieve our growth targets - *SiGH*

Even in large companies with a HR department, hiring of programmers should be done primarily at the team level. Being a Saint on Perl Monks is not a free pass. All applicants must be asked to write code and interact with future team members as part of the interview process.
