How do you find engineers in a hyper-comeptitive market?
my company's looking for an engineer for what seems to me like a dream job. Very early startup but has paying customers, solid funding, and already profitable. Great pay. Working with smart people. Really interesting problems from both a UI and computational perspective. But we can't find engineers to even listen to our offer. Anyone have creative ideas to find engineers?
- Glyptodon 14y agoYou must be doing something wrong. The question is what is it that you're doing wrong. Possibilities that spring to mind are numerous. You could be over-targeting, or mis-targeting. Or maybe there's something in your ads or company website that is somehow a warning signal.
- bradleyjg 14y agoDid you see the recent article titled "Benefits Matter"? Some things to think about from that post, and the responses to it: What are work hour expectations like, and how are you communicating them? Vacation, sick time, child care, personal time policies? Healthcare, dental, retirement? Is the pay really great, or great for a start-up?

- NonEUCitizen 14y agoThe pay must not be great enough, and the problems not interesting enough.

- codeonfire 14y agoIt's great that your startup is doing well, but hardly any good engineer wants to be an employee any more than you do. Would you work at a startup where an engineer/founder is your boss just because their business is doing well and THEY are making a profit? Lets stop this interesting problem bullshit that is repeated over and over. Engineers are not stupid.
