I've read this a million times but worked at companies where the bar for hiring managers and leadership was shaking someone's hand the right way, which led to entire teams either running for the doors or actively led to ruin.

There's a separate problem here for hiring developers specifically, where realistically it should be easy to bring someone on limited term (say 3 months) and see how they work, but compensation and benefits in the US absolutely in no way support a system like that.
