What would be also great, would be a way to announce Scala Jobs regionally. Actually we are still looking for a good way to find job canidates, but since we are a small company it's really hard to find people especially scala developers.

Where are you, and what company?
- merb 11y ago
  We are in the south of Germany and the company I'm working for is named 'envisia GmbH'. And that's the problem. Offering jobs on the internet (even for money) is aweful and expensive. Also this region doesn't has many programmers so it's really hard for a small company to get some people.

    - merb 11y ago
      Actually my email is c.schmitt@envisia.de, you could send me yours then.

I would guess that your problem is more geographical. Mildly amusing anecdote - a friend of mine went to an interview for a dev position (without doing proper due diligence) at a company just outside of London, but the location was quite isolated - he ended up on a farm complex where this company had their office. He said he could hear actual farm animal noises next door during the interview and these people were desperate to offer him the job, but for obvious reasons he declined.

  What are the obvious reasons? Is a farm a disreputable place to work in the UK? Mostly it's confusing, not concerning. I would imagine a farm is harder to keep afloat than a startup.

    If I understood correctly, the company wasn't a farm, they just had their office there, and the interviewee found that environment unpleasant.

      Ahh, makes sense. Many engineers I know would love to work near a farm, heck I'd even consider that a perk of the job. "Sick of twitter? Go look at some livestock." This is subjective, obviously.
