I'm at the biggest "software" company in the city, and we can't find quality talent within an hour commute. This is your company?... http://www.cartegraph.com/

Had I stumbled upon your website on my own, I would get the distinct impression that you are presently NOT looking for any developers, since the only jobs listed are in sales.
If you'd consider hiring someone to work remotely 3-4 days a week and drive in to Dubuque 1-2 days a week, I'd think you'd get some hits from Cedar Rapids, which might be enough to broaden your options.
- marpstar 11y agoI should've clarified that we aren't exactly HURTING for developers, but when positions are open they stay open for awhile. We're generally looking for people already up to speed on our stack (which isn't to say this is an explicit requirement) with a few (2+) years experience. We generally hire interns during the summer and many of them have go on to become FTEs. We have remote employees (in Iowa) and a second office in Colorado, but being just a medium size company, it's hard for us to compete with McKesson (across the street from us), Rockwell Collins, Deere, etc for such a small talent pool.
- drzaiusapelord 11y agoOr heaven forbid just hire me to work remotely. Why do I need to pretend I'm some local by coming in 2x a week? Areas without talent that need devs and are anti-telework deserve to be punished, imo. The 1950's ideal of everyone being in the office is antiquated and a competitive failure.
- tjr 11y agoThat too. :-) Though I thought my suggested approach might be more palatable to anyone initially opposed to remote working.
