What's wrong with these hiring managers? I mean, I thought software engineers were super-much in demand. Every founder interview I read includes a complaint about how hard it is to find good coders. These companies publish vacancies, and then don't even respond to well-fitting applicants (I'm just going to assume that the author is compentent). Is this typical? Among "startups between 20 and 100 employees"?

- dilyevsky 9y agoI interviewed recently and had very similar experience. Only applied for postings that were ideal fit based on their requirements - basically the exact same role at 20+ companies. Only heard back from ~half, then got offers from ~%70 of the ones I heard back from (so roles really were fitting). I found that medium/big companies replied almost without exception and the ones I haven't heard back from are almost all small startups so I assume the real reason is recruiters there are just fuckups.
