Shame on the BoD - current and previous - for carrying out the entire hiring process for a RTL/CTL/CJK develop while completely shutting out
I've no real insight into the process and was not involved, but I've interviewed and hired a very large set of developers. That is a thankless, and really tricky thing - saying 'no' to many hopeful applicants while selecting one is just really hard.
So from my perspective a big thank-you is due to everyone who did the tough job of coming up with a decision here - both staff and board - rock on ! =)
To me it was never entirely clear what you hoped to gain by trying to insert tens more people into that process ? Was there some specific thing that could be improved in the job spec. Surely that could have been included.
My vague recollection was that Khaled was involved in interviewing which if correct would be awesome and anchor the process in a place of raw competence :-)
Getting the right mix of skills into the project to work on a topic like this is an extremely tricky job, that needs to be done fairly, while keeping lots of information confidential, and needs to be done at pace - otherwise people are not on the market by the time you make the decision.
I would suggest that the best approach is to celebrate having someone in post again for this role, to welcome Jonathan, to support getting him up-to-speed, and to adopt a winsome approach to helping out making his life as easy and effective as possible. I would also want to encourage all those who were involved in "doing something", and then if absolutely necessary frame any constructive suggestions for how to improve hiring in the future in a more friendly way.
For my part - welcome Jonathan ! :-) looking forward to seeing the impact you'll make :-)
