Ask HN: Who's hiring in Europe?
Especially Ruby and Objective-C shops!
- jonathandann 16y agoSofa in Amsterdam - http://www.madebysofa.com/jobs http://www.madebysofa.com/jobs
- joelhaasnoot 16y agoLooks like a great place to work...
- jonathandann 16y agoIt really is. I've been working at Sofa for almost 2 years with some of the most talented people I've ever met. I can't recommend it enough.
- joelhaasnoot 16y agoStill have a few months till I graduate and not the perfect fit for me, but otherwise :)
- dkoller 16y agototemo in Zurich - www.totemo.ch: two junior java software engineers and one team leader
- Peroni 16y agoAnywhere specific in mind?
- earcar 16y agoLet's keep the thread generic. But personally, relocation is not a problem.
- Peroni 16y agoI'm a Tech recruiter. Not what you are looking for in here no doubt but I'm not the typical bottom feeding type with no soul. I focus primarily on London but the company I work for has offices throughout Europe. If you find yourself struggling, then give me a shout. My email is in my profile. Good luck!
- petervandijck 16y agoAre tech recruiters as reviled as laywers now?
- Peroni 16y agoClose enough! Maybe not with the same level of disdain but I find the general consensus is that we have no idea what we are talking about, we are only interested in squeezing candidates for leads and that we like to pigeon-hole everyone we speak to into a specific role.
- joe_fishfish 16y agoThose things are true for 99% of IT recruiters that I've encountered. What makes you different?
- Peroni 16y agowe have no idea what we are talking about 1st in Software Development from a leading tech institute. A few years practical experience as a developer. An active, ongoing interest in new technology coupled with a semi-impressive github profile. we are only interested in squeezing candidates for leads If you offer me a lead, I'll take it. I don't however, speak to candidates with the intention of simply farming them for market info. I will only ever speak to a candidate if I legitimately think I can help them. Your time is just as valuable as mine and I've no interest in wasting either. we like to pigeon-hole everyone we speak to into a specific role Key-word matching is what bad recruiters do. They also happen to be the same people who can't differentiate between Java & javascript. How am I meant to know what your perfect job is if I have never spoken to you? That's why I don't ring people with the intention of shoe-horning them into a generic job spec that's sitting on my desk.

- BerislavLopac 16y agoJonas, are you looking at telecommuting applicants too?
- dawson 16y agoCambridge, UK - Ruby/Rails developer http://about.nhs.info/ http://about.nhs.info/
- petercooper 16y agoI'd be a little hesitant about a Rails developer with all of the required skills in that job posting who'd take 25-40K in Cambridge. I know the economic climate isn't great but that's going to be a tricky role to fill.
- dawson 16y agoUpvoted and I agree, we're offering equity (common stock) too (and have a pretty high valuation). We have four interviews lined up now for the next two weeks, it's not been easy though you're right. We ARE a startup (3 months old) though and bootstrapping still from the angel round, however, we're now in talks with a couple of VCs atm. Would be a good time to get in tbh. The job description and required skills is way too optimistic and we haven't used the one on the site for some time, I should update that to 'good developer who can learn on the job' :)
- petercooper 16y agoTraining a competent developer across from another technology certainly seems to be popular in the UK nowadays, especially outside of London. I can't see why it wouldn't work. The equity point is interesting and does tip it in your favor somewhat.. Most of the comedy "senior" Rails developer ads offering 28K or whatever are at consultancies or agencies where the chance of any riches is extremely low ;-) Good luck!
- poissonpie 16y agoLooks like you guys are doing very interesting work - I've been working in healthcare in the UK for more than a few years now....it's definitely wide open for some decent solutions. Are you open to remote/flexible working or is it on-site only at the moment?

- mkuhn 16y agoThanks giu. I guess you are based in Zurich as well. Up for a coffee some time?

- CaptainZapp 16y agoWell, is this turning into a HN Zurich meetup thingie? Could be interesting.
- giu 16y agoA HN Zurich meetup would be aweseome for sure. You're from Zurich, too?
- mkuhn 16y agoMy email address is in my profile, just write me if you are interested in a meetup. I will then bundle those and start organizing. Inputs such as location etc. will be appreciated :-)
- CaptainZapp 16y agoWill do so, this evening and think about locations in the meantime :)
