Sneedle @SRamirez68083 I'd love to see an experiment where they measure the performance of employees hired by HR vs an assortment of whacky methods like hiring employees by second price auction (where the price is the wage the employee will be getting). 9:16 AM · Jun 22, 2025 · 772 Views 💬 2 🔁 3 ♥ 16 Andre Infante @AndreTI · 3h The company agrees to pay exit insurance for the hire (which pays out 75% of salary for a few months if the employee leaves or is fired), and the company hires whoever the insurance companies thinks is cheapest / lowest risk. 💬 1 ♥ 3 📊 26 Sneedle @SRamirez68083 · 3h It is indeed interesting to think why everyone use career agents.
