Future Proof your company by effectively scaling engineering
summary
Hire more junior candidates and stop assuming senior hires solve everything; measure where people actually are by fixing project management and onboarding, tracking things like daily time spent searching for answers and aiming for PR within a week as an onboarding KPI. Use PRs as teaching artifacts, run passive and active mentoring (pairing, short learning sessions), codify processes so knowledge spreads, set mentoring KPIs, and require documentation instead of relying on Slack.
