Joking (when appropriate)? Would that be in the sweet break room or somewhere else?
You're a startup, so hiring me is quite risky. Given the location, working for you entails some risk on my behalf. Your ad is casual in all the wrong places - you're trying too hard.
Instead, try and improve the tone so that you sound both casual and effortlessly professional. Sell me your product; tell me what sort of startup you are (VC, angel, bootstrapped); give me ballpark dollar figure; tell me about equity; tell me why I should be excited about your technology.
Sell the role.
- noodle 18y agoah, i was right about to post this. yes, you're a startup in a down market where startups are slicing employees left and right. a double whammy when you consider the stuff i mentioned earlier. you're going to have to convince people to [leave stable jobs and] apply. step it up, give more info on the company, hard facts, benefits (401k? health? etc.), salary range, etc.. for what its worth, i'm considering dropping my resume in just to see what you guys have to offer.
