I've talked to a lot of startups recently that are trying to hire engineers. Here’s what I've heard… Companies are struggling to find stellar engineers that go beyond the code and also believe in their mission / align well with their culture. They care about finding engineers who can truly build, not just engineer. But engineers are facing their own problems - I've spoken to a number of talented engineers who are either struggling to find jobs or feel like they could find themselves a better fit somewhere else in terms of culture, interest, education, and professional development.

Hey LinkedIn community! 👋 I guess mostly in startup companies, hiring processes are usually done with referrals and connections to find an employee. Especially if it is a seed company this is true because people usually trust someone more if they have a friend employee in the company. Let's say you as a company want to hire a front-end engineer but don't know where to look. And you get a lot of applications but you can't decide which one to choose because you don't know any of them. I want to explain my idea that In those situations as above, Why don't you just open a Github repository, make it open source and let candidates build it. You would need testers and code reviewers of course. But that way you would see who is most motivated, most active, most committed and skilled enough to do it without anything in return except for the hope of getting hired. That way even before hiring someone and handling all the paperwork, you can see them on the work even before they are hired so you are sure about their skill. What do you think of this idea what would you say its ups and downs? #StartupRecruitment #OpenSourceProjects #CollaborativeHiring #InnovationInTheWorkplace
