We get great applicants (https://circleci.com/jobs https://circleci.com/jobs), and have hired over half the company this way (maybe 6 or 7 people).
However, we have a lot that appeals to the HN crowd: a flat organization, CircleCI is written in Clojure, the company is half remote, we make tools for developers and we're committed to private offices per dev for SF hires.
So your mileage will definitely vary.
- zerr 13y agoWhy do you limit remote applicants with "US-only"?
- danielweber 13y agoDealing with remote employees is already something of an effort. It churlish to take the minority of companies willing to do it and complain that they aren't doing it enough because they want to stick with their native legal and social system. (Can I let go of my remote employee in London? Do I need to "show cause"? How much will it cost me just to get a lawyer to answer that?)
- zerr 13y agoHire as a [long-term] contractor and that's it.
- pbiggar 13y agoTimezones mostly, though actually we aren't as strict as that anymore, and I should edit it.
