We hire about once a year and it takes about six months. People tell us this is slow. It is. It is also why nobody has left in four years.
Paid trial projects
Two weeks of real work at a real rate. Both sides learn more than any interview could teach.
Senior only
A small team cannot carry a training programme. We hire people who have already shipped the hard thing at least once.
No recruiters, please
Every hire so far has come from someone's network or from this blog. That seems to be working.
