- nkohari 9y agoNo offense intended, but I've seen this same posting here the past 3 months with the same description. Several people (including myself) have reached out to learn more and received no response. I'm sure this has drawn a good amount of interest, but I'm curious: has anyone actually received a reply?
- joeyspn 9y agoHi Nate, sorry, we have received a lot of applications. It's been impossible to reply to all. We also had to pause the application process during the last 3 weeks, and we are resuming it today. I promise we'll send an email to everyone once we move to the next stage in the coming couple of weeks(we're still screening). Apologies again.
- FBISurveillance 9y agoNot sure why downvote, it sounds like an honest response.
- pfarnsworth 9y agoBecause you shouldn't tell people to contact them and then ignore them like they don't matter. How you treat candidates is a good indication as to how good of a company you are. When I posted on HN years ago I made sure to contact every single person back because it's the right thing to do.
- Tehchops 9y agoThanks for the update. I too reached out early-October. Should we assume our initial contact will suffice, and you will be replying if there is mutual interest?
- joeyspn 9y agoPrecisely. We'll contact you if we find your profile interesting.
- privacypoller 9y ago>> I promise we'll send an email to everyone once we move to the next stage >> Precisely. We'll contact you if we find your profile interesting Which is it? I realize it's S.O.P. in the talent acquisition business to keep the net open and catch one fish while the rest swim around in the pen, but hold yourself and your company to a higher standard.
- nkohari 9y agoI understand, I'm just looking to hear from someone who has received a response. Have you been requesting applications for 3 months but haven't reached out to anyone?
- 9y ago
- mdn0420 9y agoHaven't received a reply either. Also have seen the OP post the same response here multiple times. Is there much benefit in keeping the flood gates open if you're already overwhelmed?
- chrissnell 9y agoPinged you last week but never heard back.
- singletonbingle 9y agoWhy would you expect to hear back? How can a company reply to every person that applies for a position? If they’re interested, they’ll respond. It’s like Tinder. They got your email. Don’t get upset because one startup (that’s likely going to fail) didn’t like your resume more than other ones, or hasn’t gotten to it. This is “nice guy” behavior.
- titanix2 9y agoIf they read the mail, it doesn’t take much longer to reply a no with some copy/pasta. It is basic respect.
- singletonbingle 9y agoRidiculous! There are maybe hundreds of resumes being scanned. How could you do anything other than send a generic response? Why would you want a generic reply saying “yup, got your resume, email still works...” Show yourself some respect and stop complaining about being rejected. You sent an email, they didn’t reply, ignore it. Not one reply gave a good rationale...downvote all you want.
- privacypoller 9y agoThere's a difference to getting your feelings hurt and expecting a little decency. A company the solicits applications should definitely be held to the later.
- seattle_spring 9y agoRespect and decency is a 2-way street. I've stopped posting jobs to HN because, even though I explicitly state that I'm not looking for interns or remote candidates, I still get hundreds of e-mails asking if I will make an exception. The ones I reply to are often persistent, and even sometimes accuse me of some sort of "-ism" for rejecting them.
- ainiriand 9y agoNo response heard since last contact, seen it way too many times here.
- deleted 9y ago[deleted]
- BlockChainGuru 9y agoBeware! This is a scam. NO replies ever. Move on.
- rublev 9y agoThen what's the scam? I'd imagine they're looking for a very specific skill set (those tech skills, but in the context of crypto).
- StreamBright 9y agoI also reached out to you several times and you did not even bother to reply. Even Amazon, Google and Microsoft replies, at the very least with a sorry not this time default answer.
- joeyspn 9y agoSorry, I've sent you an email.
- ym705 9y agoYou don't have time to reply to people but still have time to post here every months...
- joeyspn 9y agoHi Jules, this is the 3rd month that we post. In 2 months we've received a lot of CVs, but I'm afraid it's been impossible to reply to all of you. Please don't take it personally. I'll send you an email now.
- buttershakes 9y agoI'm going to chime in here also. I sent an email quite a while ago and heard absolutely nothing. Considering I have basically an unbelievable amount of experience related to this I was surprised that I didn't even get a followup or inquiry. Hiring is hard, this could be just the result of poor hiring practices, or it could be something else entirely. Either way, it gives a very poor impression, and considering how small the pool of talent in HFT and Smart Contracts is that isn't something a new company can afford to do.
- joeyspn 9y ago> Hiring is hard, this could be just the result of poor hiring practices, or it could be something else entirely. This is the result of reaching the top of Who's Hiring twice, we received almost 2k emails when we expected 50-100. I'm the only one screening CV's with 1-2 hours/day available for this task. If anyone is expecting a Google structure behind this, then no. We are 3 normal guys starting a new project from scratch, and said it in the job posts. Because of the growing interest in crypto, we had massive unexpected success with our job posts and we are a bit overloaded. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this has caused. We won't post again until we have a recruitment team in place.
- AngeloAnolin 9y agoI'd suggest then to put perhaps even a small team to help with the recruitment process? Maybe 2-3 person who can review and screen around 100 CVs per day? Tedious task, but doable.
- pmcpinto 9y agoHey José, I also sent an email a couple of weeks ago and didn't received any reply
- joeyspn 9y agoPedro, I just sent you an email. Apologies for the delay...
- jashper 9y agoYeah these guys are a bit disorganized o.O Which is rather disappointing considering the potential of the space.
- deleted 9y ago[deleted]
- jashper 9y agoWelp, I'm an ass, just got a very thoughtful e-mail from Jose, pay no attention to my comments...
- payamg 9y agoSent you a follow-up about the Principal Security Engineer position, I'd love to have a chat.
