This gets constantly asked on HN. What matters is where you live - the hiring market in Germany or Canada is going to be different from the Bay Area or NYC.

- yewenjie 4mo agoGerman startups that used to be English-speaking are now asking for German. I don't understand what that solves.
- fhd2 4mo agoI think it's primarily a filter. Candidate filters are pretty much always silly, even common ones based on degree/grades etc. But with a lot of candidates on the market, using some filters reduces the list to a manageable amount. Personally, as someone with a German company and a good chunk of German clients, I'd argue it _does_ help a little. Occasionally. But by and large I'm far more interested in the candidate's English proficiency.
