Can I also add don't hire solely by github? I know you people are makers and all, but building stuff alone is hard. Why not mentor people with empty githubs and fish employees from that pool? Set up a cool open source project, ask people with no experience to join, ask them to team up, then mentor them through, make them work for free but mentor them, then hire who you like and offer recommendations to other good programmers that you can't hire.
- solve 13y agoEurope (every country I've experienced) is obsessed with hiring based on online profiles (github, linkedin, websites, etc.) I have a feeling that they're going to learn about this the hard way.
- yummyfajitas 13y agoDo I need to keep holding their hand after I hire them as well? Building stuff alone is often part of the job.
