We were hiring for a support engineer role. Came across a guy in our own city, profile looked solid, brought him in for an interview.
Didn't move forward with him.

Small world! :)
Product designer ghosted us 3 weeks in (paid hours, work started, then silence).
What do you do?
1. Hunt them down
2. Eat the cost & restart

Now that IPL is done and dusted, time for India to focus on business of business.
