The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- A business consultant, Ameet Mukherji, shared on LinkedIn that a candidate for a General Manager role at a ₹15 crore manufacturing company withdrew after four months of screening and a negotiated salary.
- The candidate said the company had no systems and ran entirely on the founder's memory and mood, meaning he would bear responsibility without real control or credit.
- Mukherji argued that founders cannot fix a systems problem by hiring, since no senior hire will work in a business that depends on one person's decisions.
- He added that hiring is a two-way choice, and companies should evaluate candidates' fit just as candidates evaluate the company.
What to watch next
- Whether the manufacturing company restructures its processes before attempting to hire again
- Whether Mukherji's post prompts wider discussion among founders about building systems before hiring senior roles
- Any follow-up from the consultant on tools like psychometric assessments being adopted in such hiring
