I work for a large tech company based in Warsaw and they’ve found it incredibly difficult to hire as they scale up. The talent pool for niche industries is quite small, so once you’ve hired a decent sized core group there are not a ton of good candidates left.
But to be fair, they are also really struggling to hire in the US. So perhaps it’s not a Warsaw problem after all.
- durnygbur 5y agoSorry but I interview regularly for positions based in Warsaw. First Codility/Hackerrank filtering and/or take home assignment, then rounds of algorithm smartass questions alternatively about nuances from every generation of Angular framework. All these for a job with a total compensation of equivalent of max 60k USD but more likely 50-55k USD. I have no idea what they are doing but certainly they are not hiring. There will be no hiring happening there, or rather I'm your "not good enough" candidate. These cutthroat processes are for positions with total compensation well above 100k USD, your poor miserable zealots.
- adjkant 5y agoWhile Google may beat that salary, Google interviewing and hiring practices are infamous for being over the top filtering, choosing many false negatives rather than having false positives. I'm not sure I'd bank on Google hiring any quicker...
- soared 5y agoI agree with you entirely :) my company is in love with tests! To get a promotion I need to pass something like 8 tests that are brutally graded. My interviews for a non-developer but technical position required 2 tests and a ton of bs brain teasers. “How many gas stations are there in Poland?”
