This week I share 5 tips on hiring a developer [powerpress]
I have to manage my projects and outsource them, otherwise, I would never make enough money to keep my business afloat. I have this problem, where, when I start a project, the product owner will ask questions like, "What happens if you die?" and my best answer to that is, "That's why we have employees". But, when I go to hire employees, sometimes they completely just ignore the stack that I'm using and they go off and do their own thing, which becomes difficult to manage. Should I be ruling with an iron fist, or should I just be more of a liason between my clients and my developers?How To Deal with Hiring Developers?
How do you separate signal from the noise that developers are constantly bombarded with? What kind of candidate experience is this, anyway, for our most sought-after talent? Why don't developers express their interests up front before going through the ringer of phone screens...only to realize the opportunity is far from a good fit? One question led to another, and pretty soon, Hung launched Workshape.io, a talent matching service that helps companies connect with talent based on interest as opposed to keywords on a resume.

Money isn't enough to hire the best product teams. If you want to hire great people to build your product, you need to convince them that your vision has potential. To do this, techies and non-techies alike need to come prepared. Learning notes: A product is a solution to a problem someone is experiencing. You use Uber to get from A to B, not because you want to use an app. Great outsourced product teams like the Evil Martians will question your assumptions and want to validate your idea. If a product team doesn't ask you any questions and just wants to take your money, they are probably not very good, and so you should not work with them. To prepare to work with a great product team, research the problem you are solving and your target users. This research will also be useful if you are fundraising or applying for accelerators. User and problem research is also relevant if you want to get a job in a tech business, invest in tech or lead digital transformation. This will help you stand out at interviews and think like a digital leader.

Sara recalls flunking her first few code screenings while applying for jobs. The hard lesson she learned? Sometimes, it pays to skip the collaboration and just show off.

C'est Martin qui voulait qu'on aborde le sujet. C'est vrai que c'est un sujet autour duquel il n'y a pas de consensus. Au sein des recruteurs, il y a ceux qui trouvent que c'est un obstacle, qui ont peur de perdre le bon candidat sur cette étape. Au sein des candidats, il y a ceux qui trouvent les tests absurdes, puérilisants, et ceux qui font des examens sur tableau blanc. Alors on a pris le temps d'en discuter avec Jules et Bahia car leurs deux entreprises sont fières de faire des tests techniques. Exotec et Récisio (plus souvent appelé par leur marque Karafun) ne font pas du tout les tests de la même façon, parce qu'ils ont des convictions différentes. Et ce le sujet de cet épisode

This week I go into hiring developers and how you determine whether or not they'd make a good employee. The hard thing with hiring is that you really don't know what you're getting until you've made the hire. You can look at their code, pair with them, and talk to them to get a feel for who they are and how they operate, but in the end, there's only one definitive test—putting them to work and seeing how they work out.
