It's not hard.
* Advertise your above market rates
* Advertise your generous referral bonus system
* Be very clear about the role (responsibilities, domain, org structure, etc)
* Poach from the pool of employees from respected, established companies. Ideally with 2+ years (they've basically done the vetting for you, and you know they've survived at least 2 review cycles)
* Avoid long drawn out interviews, any in person interviews should be treated like a final sanity check before an offer, like management interviews are.
- debacle 11y agoPublishing rates? Above market rates? Our salaries are competitive. We can't tell you what they are, but they're competitive. Please interview with us. /s
- codegeek 11y agoDid I forget to mention that we have "excellent benefits and perks" /s
- mrits 11y agoI like the idea of advertising the actual salary. The rest of your points makes me believe you have either been lucky or haven't actually had a lot of success in this approach. Not getting fired at a company for 2 years is an extremely easy thing to do and means almost nothing. To the contrary I've hired some extremely talented people that have previously fired just a couple months on the job. Quite honestly, saying recruiting is not hard makes me think you are just not very intelligent.
