Hiring only seniors may harm your company - why?

The article 'Hiring Only Senior Engineers is Killing Companies' discusses the problems that arise from favoring senior engineers during recruitment. It points out that this approach can lead to stagnation of innovation within companies, as younger, less experienced engineers often bring fresh ideas and new perspectives. Companies that limit themselves to hiring only seniors may miss out on opportunities for growth and development, and create an environment where senior engineers may feel bored or overwhelmed due to a lack of diversity. The author emphasizes that a mixed engineering team with different levels of experience fosters better knowledge sharing and mutual support. Therefore, it is important to reconsider recruitment practices and share responsibilities within the team to build stronger and more diverse engineering groups.
