From what I am seeing with all the various discussions on who Hopson is hiring and who he's hiring and not hiring, there are a lot of folks here who have never had to hire folks.
I was in that same boat a few years ago, but over the past few years I have had to hire and fire a number of individuals. During that time I learned a few things, and one is if you make good hires you have to do less firings.
There are a number of attributes I looked at when making hires but one stood above the rest.
The most important attribute is "Trust". If I can't trust you, you can't work for me, that is the bottom line. Experience, continuity, ect all take a back seat to trust.
If Hopson is hirng guys he trusts, I can't fault him for that.
