    Is it strange that it took them over a year to find a competent HR lead? That seems like a long time for finding a single hire.

      I can't speak for Github, but a few shops I've been at in my career have taken that long (or even longer) to find a good fit. With that role, it's increasingly less about hiring the classic HR position than it is about finding a candidate that fits the companies culture. Seems to always be a difficult thing to find, especially as companies get further and further away from typical corporate cultures.

        I was hoping for a response like this. It sounded strange to me at first, thanks for shedding some light on that.

        Unfortunately, it sounds like they had a pretty toxic culture over there. Maybe finding HR that fits that mold isn't the best idea for some companies.
