I know one team that is doing everything the other way around. They don't inverview their new hires, they don't test them, they basically take everybody who wants to join and let them show themselves. Aside from that, they rely on newcomers public profiles, in GitHub, StackOverflow, and so on. Check this out: https://www.yegor256.com/2016/03/01/how-we-interview-program...

As usual "pay well!" isn't in the list.

It kinda is. At the very beginning he mentions that his startup couldn't pay as well as FAANG. Most people won't take a pay cut when switching jobs, unless they are moving to a place with a lower cost of living. But a lot of people are kinda elastic on pay raises . Here's a list of stuff that can stimulate different people more than a larger pay raise when switching jobs: - becoming a manager - no longer being a mana…

You forgot:

- title change

And man is that a head shaker.
