- hansonkd 3y agoYes, that is how I found the engineers I did find. I wasn't impressed by the applications I got, although who I hired was fun and talented. If I remember they were either engineers who's primary projects were actually erlang, high priced agencies, people who were elixir curious, or people have only made pet projects. The freelancers I hired had Elixir experience from a previous job, but we ended up figuring out a lot of stuff together. It was harder to just hand off requirements and expect it to be done. Granted my budget wasn't very big and I limited my scope to those within the Americas due to working hour constraints. But it is very different from hiring for Python which is very easy to get a reasonably priced agency or freelancer with years of experience very fast.
- pdimitar 3y agoYeah I agree with your last, it's true. Sorry that you didn't have better experience and I am fairly sure that I've seen your ad there and figured not to engage. :D Though I think the biggest filter were the US working hours. I think Elixir devs are much more in the EU.
