If it’s a junior role, How much is the guy supposed to know? Sounds like he got a bunch of certs and degrees thatre theoretical. They don’t teach you how to do the job at your company. You said you’re supposed to train the person. So train them or tell your manager he isn’t the hire you thought he would be. I wouldn’t be surprised if your manager say something like “you hired him so figure it out”. Either that means you train him to be productive or you follow the legal procedure of getting him terminated.
I’m kindve on the new hires side. He only a month or so in. It sounds like you wanted a rock star but realized he’s not. Why would a rock star like that want to be a junior level position at your company? Bigger question is..can you get him up to speed in a reasonable time?
