> it's impossible to find talent
It's been 4 months and counting that I've been trying to land an Elixir freelance contract.
My theory is that dev. happiness and productivity is so great in Elixir land, there is not much churn, so talent is available, jobs, not so much.
- 8ytecoder 4y agoReach out to me on my email on HN with your resume/GitHub link.
- Plasmoid 4y agoI submitted a few patches to an elixir project and from that a company reached out to hire me. This was a while ago but I got the feeling that companies were starved for talent.
- throwawaymaths 4y agoIt's also hard to get a job as an elixir junior or senior. There is a disconnect and companies are trying to hire by cargo culting things that other startups/faang are doing, and repeatedly turning down perfectly good candidates. Also recruiters don't know how to find/screen elixir devs, etc.

- raydev 4y agoTo be fair, this is a relatively bad time for talent. My inbox is alarmingly quiet after years of being annoyed by recruiters.
- Existenceblinks 4y agoYes, and it's almost impossible outside the US or EU.
