The Strong Towns Hiring Process
- burlesona 7y agoI shared this because the linked page gives a detailed description of the Strong Towns Hiring Process, which is pretty unique. There is a link to an open job on this page, but not one I think most of the HN crowd would be interested in. I occasionally run into processes like this in software world, where the goal is to be open to a wide range of candidates you might otherwise overlook. I think most of the HN crowd is also very interested in hiring for capability rather than credentials. I find the process used at Strong Towns a pretty interesting example of that. The dynamics are obviously different when you have a job with a large pool of interested people, versus software these days where it’s a large pool of jobs and not so many candidates, but still a neat process to think about. I’m on the Strong Towns board and have participated in this as a reviewer several times, so I’m happy to answer questions if you have any. Cheers!
