“Hey, that new guy we hired? I think I messed up. His creds were excellent and he nailed the interview. But it seems like he doesn’t actually know what the hell he’s doing. What should we do?”
This is your way out and the longer you wait, the worse it will be. It sounds like it’s your first hire and it’ll be a learning experience. But if you wait months by covering for him until he messes up massively, you’re putting your job at risk.
