Some companies advertise solely to make themselves look dynamic to investors.
- sk11001 3y ago"Hmm Meticulous have been looking for a #3 founding engineer for 18 months, they're sooo dynamic"
- autonomousErwin 3y agoYeah I've seen this a lot and while I understand the whole "hire slow, fire fast" mentality, there's a point where you've got to bite the bullet and take a chance.
- lnxg33k1 3y agoI’d argue theyre just running a marketing campaign, post an advert about software engineer, at a company offering software engineering products, id like to see how many felt for it and introduced the product at their companies, how better you can target your primary target?
- Banditoz 3y agoOh wow, you weren't kidding: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=Meticulous&sort=byDate&type=job https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... First post for founding engineer #3 was back in June 2022.

- rumori 3y agoI was always curious what was going on there. I definitely have a negative impression of them already based on their recurring job ads for the elusive 3rd engineer.
- intelVISA 3y agoTrying to find some poor sap to build your startup for 18 months doesn't signal what they think it does, lol.
- Tommah 3y agoMaybe they've hired 18 people and each one has only lasted a month! It doesn't get much more dynamic than that.
- solardev 3y agoThe first #3 engineer set up the job ad script too, and none of the other 17 people could figure out how to increment the integer. It's hard to find good help these days!
