Have you ever decided against a candidate who was really qualified and extremely intelligent because of their personality quirks? I recently did that with a candidate who seemed to have trouble communicating without a certain sense of entitlement, but I almost regret it because not one other candidate matches up to her levels of accomplishment and skill. Would you push forward and try to find someone else or reach back out to this candidate that you think could be a red flag?

Honestly, I have passed on super-qualified candidates because personality and team fit matter a lot. If nobody else measures up on skills, I’d consider reaching back out, maybe have a candid talk about communication style and expectations. Sometimes, a direct conversation can clear things up and lead to a great hire, if you set boundaries up front.

it sounds a little subjective ( the sense of entitlement). Could it be nerves perhaps?

I think you did the right thing. If they communicated a sense of entitlement during an interview, it will even be worse once they are working and part of a team. They will make the team dysfunctional, and then you will have to rehire all over again.

You have to consider the team as a whole. Even if you bring in an accomplished and skilled individual, if it negatively impacts everyone else on the team, kind of a loss.

You were right to trust your gut with that one. It's not just what the candidate will contribute, but how they will fit in with the team. If they damage morale with their entitlement, the overall productivity of the team will decrease significantly.

Noticed the conversations stopped as soon as raises were approved. Is a 2% increase enough to stop discussion around these systemic issues?

I saw a posting on the meta career site for a data solutions analyst. Is this a role similar to a data analyst or solution architect. The job description fits both data science, data engineer or solution architect. And what is the total comp for this position? I can't seem to find this role online or on sites like Glassdoor or levels. It's a remote position.

Mental Health, inherited or choice? I am finding myself struggling with processing that ADD, Depression, or Bipolar is a chemical imbalance in the brain vs. behavioral therapy. The best analogy given to me is you would treat diabetics with insulin so why not consider prescriptions to help mental health. 2020 has thrown more at me than I’m able to handle. Has anyone here noticed a significant improvement after a prescription to help psych issues?
