Ask HN: Hiring “Jesus lovers” for your tech/science startup
I'm a bit torn on this one. Often times in the hiring process I'll encounter really promising candidates that excite me, but then I open their Twitter/website and their first choice of words to describe themselves are "Jesus lover" or "Follower of Jesus", and it immediately turns me off.
I think religion has its place in the world, but the indications I get from those statements are that this individual ultimately hasn't progressed very far intellectually or challenged their beliefs strongly enough. I fear it is a limiting mindset, no matter how impressive their resume is, and that this will translate on the job as well.
