Hiring is not the solution to all problems… Especially not for engineering problems. At RedCorner we know this full well because when we take over an underperforming technical organization we tend to reduce the workload by close to 50% by eliminating what we call “bullshit work”. But it’s not only about work optimization, it’s also about the developers themselves and how they approach solutions. We level an engineering team up by at least 10-15 years of experience through our Integrated Coaching Program that is the core of how our FCTOs work. Once the teams are optimized and well structured, then and only then do we start hiring if needed.

Hiring engineers does NOT need to be complicated. If you need engineers for your organization... 1. Shoot us an email team@gun.io 2. Hop on a call with our team for discovery 3. Start getting presented with vetted engineers from our platform ASAP 4. Then hire one of them (or all of them) And all along our customer success teams will walk with you throughout this process to ensure you are ACTUALLY getting the talent you want and deserve.

Stop measuring engineers' experience by years. I know it's convenient, especially for recruiters with little technical knowledge. But it means nothing. An engineer can do the same thing for 20 years without being good at it. Others deliver exceptional output in no time. They bring talent, curiosity, and a strong knowledge of tech fundamentals. Want a high-performing IT department? Find the right talent. Conduct proper assessments. #recruiting #hiring #softwareengineering

Hiring is a difficult process for every Software Engineer who transitioned to Engineering Manager. Any bad decision around that topic might have very serious consequences! So to avoid that I decided to record a short video about how I approach the Hiring Process and what I take into consideration! I hope my hints will help you build great teams and have no issues with finding the best candidates! https://lnkd.in/dgsr_GHv

It's easy to forget how bad hiring is, until you really need to do it. And not just "we should open some reqs up." Things like "if we can't hire the right engineer this quarter, we'll be far behind our roadmap." The right engineering hire at the right stage used to be hidden behind so many layers of applications, screening calls, and wading through resumes. We're working hard to make that a thing of the past.

We're giving $5000/referral for every engineer we hire at Replo. Here's a hot take on hiring — If you're an engineering candidate, I guarantee you will always speak to me or my co-founder Noah Gilmore on the first call. We currently get about 500-1,000 engineering applicants/week. Investors have told us that we should be hiring a recruiter. We have a ton of automation and filtering in place for the thousands of applicants we do get, but we still make it a point to do the first "pitch" to engineers. Why? As founders, hiring is literally the most important thing we could spend our time on. A single great engineer is gonna be a 10-100x force-multiplier across the entire team, especially in the age of GPT. Convincing great engineers to join a startup is a two-way interview, and I want to make sure that the first person they interact with at Replo has actually done the job we're asking them to do. We're super picky in the application review process, but if we're gonna spend time with you, you better bet we're gonna try and make sure you have a great experience. At some point, I'm sure we'll get too big for us to take every first call, but making sure people who have done the job before are in charge of hiring at our company is always gonna be a winning strategy.

If your hiring process is smooth and efficient, it suggests that your system is not burdened by #HireDebt. Why Hiring Engineers Have Become So Complex? - if that one question can be answered well, CTOs know what to do. Strive to simplify and automate engineering enough to ensure that the majority of individuals are qualified for the job and systems have multiple choices to hire quickly and cost-effectively. #CodeDoctorship way to handle #HireDebt in slide-4 https://lnkd.in/gdAstYA2 #enterprenuership #mindset
