Ask HN: What's it like sifting through remote opportunity applicants?
How do you filter through the hundreds of applicants? Is the approach different at all than non-remote jobs? How do you deal with international applicants?
- JSeymourATL 6y agoThere’s a Beat The Clock aspect— In seconds you must determine if this person is Hot or Not. Meaning, can they demonstrate in their application they have the desired skills/experience/other strengths, etc... Essentially, are they within range of someone I want to spend time interviewing. I know that GOOD People only pop up their heads up for opportunity occasionally. They will have options in short order. So I must act quickly. Additionally, I’m competing with other noise in my world. Constant demands for my time. Including, the COVID-19 craziness. Wifey is working at home and I’ve got school age kiddos. Focused Work time blocks are at a premium. Location not so important. My chief criteria— is the candidate accessible and responsive. I’ve found Top Performers in Mendoza, Tulsa, Kiev, and Melbourne. All of them World Class Pros!
