We only have 10 ish staff during election season.

For us it's always been unpredictable and I wouldn't go as far to say intentional fraud.

But there is a trend that the people who put the most experience, list best tech skills, have good buzzword filled interviews often don't live up to it.

Often it's the fresh person with less experience, or the person coming from something different that doesn't even have the baseline skills, that becomes the super talented value adder.

I think a big part of their success is ability to teach themselves. Google it success.

I wish we had a better way to make choices. Still though it's not like it's horrible. out of like 10 we usually only get one we need to let go of or move to a less intense role.

We tried doing some basic tests of like paying people to do 2 hours of work, proof reading, etc. But didn't go well.
