| So much this The "startup ninja hacker" world is in need of a reality check The "tradicional hiring" methods has some glaring defects, but people don't realize it's got a lot of things right as well! I want your resume, yes. You don't need one if your name really rings a bell like Gosling, Stroustroup, Torvalds. Not "built JQuery UI plugins" famous, sorry. Also, it's great if you can link to a previous work, but if you can't it's ok. Projects go offline (happened to me), are sold as part of a product (yes), or are part of a really expensive product (yep). "Sorry but if you're my employer, the onus is upon you to be familiar with international hiring policies." I lost count of how many "recruiters" contacted me offering a job in the US (residents only). But you know, in the same place you got my email there was a disclaimer "need sponsorship to work in the US". So if you ignore this, I'm gonna assume it's a poor job offer (and it usually is) |
