[quote=deadzone]Do you use Indeed and Linkedin to find candidates?[/quote]Yes when I was Head of Engineering at an early stage startup. But now, the recruiting team is responsible for that. But I do mobilize my LinkedIn network to point them to the job postings.
[quote=deadzone]Looking back at last year, my company provided less than 2% for COLA. I guess they got that number from some questionable government figures but we all know cost of living is rising way more quickly than that, especially in SD. With that small of COLA raise our salaries are going down in real terms big time.[/quote]
COLA is pointless in engineering IMHO. At least in my entire career experience. If you’re only giving COLA, the good one will leave.
