Has it happened often that you hire a candidate only to fire him a few weeks later? I'm looking for a new role and new challenges but I'm also concerned about stability. How often does it happen that you can't actually spot a good fit in the interview?

I can't think of an instance of someone being fired within weeks of being hired. I'm sure some people have been let go after a probationary period, and some may have left by choice if things weren't to their liking. There probably are cases where people lied about their qualifications and that became apparent early on, but that would be pretty rare.

That's also been my experience so far, but I wonder if the extra instability coming from the market right now has changed the balance, glad that has not been your case!

Good interview processes try to evaluate both skills and team fit, though no process is perfect.
