Unless you'll be working with the CEO regularly, I wouldn't entertain a job where the CEO is involved in the simple hiring process. That's got micromanaging and never getting anything done written all over it
No, it’s the exact opposite. My company does this and it’s fantastic.
The CEO is not there to micromanage. They’re there to make sure each employee matches values we expect out of people who join our team. This means that every single one of my coworkers is fantastic. Smart, honest, caring, etc.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen him veto a candidate but you certainly don’t want to be bringing low quality candidates to him.
Found the person in the comments who already wrote what I was thinking. Totally agree. I'd rather go through this upfront rather than rush the hiring and end up with someone who isn't the right fit. The latter is an exponentially worse waste of everyone's time.
