    Edit 3: Since this is for newbies, some information about recruiters: we pay the recruiter in addition to what we pay you. The recruiter’s typical pay for a rookie hire is around $50,000.00, if you stay for a full year. Half up front, in case you don’t stay.

    On top of that - where I work it takes about six months for a new hire to start carrying their own weight. Until that happens, you’re paying other people to spend time helping the new person find their feet in the company. It’s not just coding either, a lot of it is little things like “who do I talk to when I when the VPN stops working?”

    The loss in productivity during that time is often worse than if you’d never hired the person at all. And most new people don’t last six months, so it’s generally a bad investment. One that is only done because if you don’t hire people, you’ll have no workers at all since established employees can’t be expected to work for you forever.

    Hiring people is a big risk. Anything you can do to mitigate that risk (evidence that you’re someone they should hire) will increase your chances of being hired exponentially.

      That’s a great summary. Well said.
