No recruiter has ever worked, except when we supply a trivial programming task to be supplied with the CV.
+ SF bay hires
We're not in the bay area. We're really, really not in the bay area.
+ sourced mostly from internal recommendations
We have no internal recommendations - most people who work here don't know any other programmers.
+ placement agencies we had a good track record with
We have zero placement agencies with good records.
+ AFAIK never bulk advertised ones
We have to - we have no other source of applicants.
An obvious hypothesis is that if you want to employ programmers other than in the bay area, you're screwed.
- trotsky 16y agoWell, it sounds like you have good reasons for using your techniques. I think it was a good discussion, in that it showed techniques that work for one situation may be wholly inappropriate for another. An obvious hypothesis is that if you want to employ programmers other than in the bay area, you're screwed. For the record, I've also hired folks in Boston, Boulder and Washington, DC with similar experiences. I'll admit, though, that the average quality in SF was the best.
