#jobseekers Let me give you one quick advice. I know many of you are checking remote positions in various job boards. But as many of you do that, those jobs are getting huge amount of applications, where for you, standing out almost becomes impossible. What else can you do? Simple 👇 Apply anyway, but take one step further by checking the careers page of that company and see the other open roles. You might even find a better position for you to apply. With this advice in mind, I created hidden-jobs.com. Currently there are only 3000+ open positions, but adding more and more companies every day. (Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments) And here are some of the best job boards you can find remote positions: - Remote's job board at remote.com/jobs (By far the best even though it is the newest) - We Work Remotely at weworkremotely.com - Remotive at remotive.com - Remote.co - NoDesk.co - EU Remote Jobs at euremotejobs.com - RemoteOK at remoteok.com If you know better boards, please feel free to share in the comments. #remote #remotejobs #hiring

What do you think about case studies (aka. take home assessments) in the hiring process? This is a very common use case in recruitment, but there is a catch. I have seen many companies using them in a very wrong way, here are some👇 🚫 Using a real problem, asking candidates to solve ( free work) 🚫 Sending case study right after application, without even talking to the candidates 🚫 Preparing case studies that would take 5-10 hours of candidates' time. 🚫 Not giving any feedback after a case study submission, leaving the candidates with a generic rejection email 🚫 Poorly setup case studies that are lacking context, hard to understand what the ask is On the other hand, resume is just a paper and does not justifies your ability to do the work. Therefore, case studies are a great way to measure the abilities. I have been using case studies in my hiring process and I find them very beneficial if used correctly. Here are a few rules I came up with: ✅ Use a situation from lessons learned, and prepare it with idiot proof context ✅ Do it yourself first as a hiring manager, and make sure the time spend does not exceed 30 mins, so that candidates can actually complete it within 2 hours. ✅ Ask candidates to work on a case study only after you had an initial call, and communicate clearly the purpose of this step. ✅ Give feedback for each case study you receive, even if it is a rejection. ✅ In the next interview, always include time to discuss the case study submission While many companies are using case studies, only a few of them pay attention to do it right. (Remote is one of them, so thank you guys) What do you think about case studies? #hiringprocess #recruitment #talentacquisition P.S. If you know any good or bad examples, feel free to share in the comments. I will go first - Clipboard Health is one of the bad examples, asking to work on a 5-10 hours case without any human interaction, and leaving you with no feedback, just a generic rejection email)
