Curious to hear from other hiring managers: what’s the fastest you’ve gone from hiring someone to realizing it wasn’t the right fit? How long did you spend trying to give them the proper time to adapt/ additional training?

I had some hesitations nagging at me even during the interview. But overall they met all the big things being asked. Within the first week it took a turn. Didn’t have any want to learn anything and defaulted to a can’t do that attitude. Tried an extra few months with them but it never went anywhere.

did you have to let them go?

I mean, the fastest was when they didn't even show up on their first day, and we never heard from them again; that was the record. I have had a couple of new hires that only lasted a few months. I tried working with them and helping them to get acclimated, but it just didn't work out. I've also had a couple of people drop out because the schedule and the work requirements didn't fit what they were capable of doing. In general, I think it's good to give people a couple of months, but if it's not a good fit, it's not a good fit.

not showing up on the first day wow!

There was someone I could tell after their second week they weren't going to be a good fit. But I gave here the benefit of the doubt and gave her six months to see if she could do the job. Spoiler alert, she couldn't do the job and we were both miserable.
