I’ve spent the last year/year and a half hiring developers. We pay well, company is relaxed, no overtime, and established.
I will post for a senior level position and get 200 resumes with zero experience. Just a undergrad or grad degree, but never in a relevant technology/skill set. Maybe two will fit the bill. By the time I get ahold of them they already have another job.
If I post a junior level position, for someone just out of college or a code school…crickets. No one applies.

- fxtentacle 5y agoSince you can become "senior" on paper with a few weekend courses, I'm not surprised. Maybe require actual years of working experience instead and ask applicants to name the company where they gained that experience. That said, when I got my first team lead position, I had no experience actually working, but only a lot of hobby projects. So make sure not to discard the "senior" overmotivated hobbyists.
