- david_allison 5y agoSuggestions off the top of my head: * Specifically mention that you're after someone with nontrivial open source experience/maintenance experience and you'll accept it in place of Leetcode * Some inkling that you've thought about titles/HR considers "maintainer" as experience * Provide the expected time commitments from interviews upfront. Likewise for compensation. * Expect part-time or contract work. If full-time, explicitly allocate time to their OSS. * Remote, if part-time or contracting * Async friendly. I've had 1 "real-time" meeting in OSS (total). * Post a spec/contact details in a reply to this comment, or "Who is Hiring"
