Omar Zenhom explains how hiring the wrong technical person cost him half a million dollars. Bad architecture decisions, broken apps, and slow product development compound fast. Quality matters more than finding a bargain.
Hiring technical talent is not like hiring for customer support or admin. If you're hiring the wrong person in a technical position, they can break your app. They can slow down your product, they can make the wrong architectural choices that can cost you thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars down the line. And worst of all, you won't know they're doing it until it's too late. That's why you want quality, not bargains. Don't try to find the diamond in the rough. It doesn't exist.
