A new hire was brought onto my project. I'm responsible for training this person but they have very limited knowledge in SQL and no Tableau or Python experience. They don't have an understanding of relational databases and poor attention to detail. All of these skills are required to do the job. They keep making basic mistakes. I believe they lyed on their resume. At what point is teaching this individual the fundamentals too much? Has anyone been in this situation before?

Train them for a month and then give them a basic project task to do. Keep training and assigning tasks and providing feedback. If their mistakes keep repeating, put them on an improvement plan.

Also, I'm interested in moving to Australia. Any roles you can refer me to? ~9 years experience in Healthcare consulting 😁

I haven’t but if you guys are still hiring, I know a great candidate with all of these skills!

Always remember what might seem basic to you is not basic to them. Give them a SQL challenge everyday so that they can become more comfortable writing SQLs.

Oof this is hard. I would definitely have a conversation with the hiring and recruiting team so this doesn’t happen again.

At my company (industry) the expectation for management employees is that you spend ~10% of your time managing and developing others. If it’s taking you away from your job too much, you need to say something. It’s hard to train someone to be detailed oriented if they aren’t naturally like that already. They might be better suited for a different role.
