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.
