Had a call with a strong engineering candidate today
He was two minutes late and looked apologetic.
“I’m so sorry for being late!”
I said, “That’s okay. Everything alright?”
He replied, “Yeah, I was just helping my girlfriend with some errands.”
I paused.
“You… have a girlfriend?”
He nodded. “Yeah, we’ve been together for three years.”
I sighed.
Red flag.
“I’m sorry. I don’t think this will be a good fit. Wish you all the best.”
I ended the call immediately.
If your software engineer can talk to women, that's not a good sign.
The best male engineers can barely make eye contact with one.
If your male engineer is in a relationship (or God forbid, married), he’s at best a B-player
Always hire A-players
