We have successfully delegated most of the recruitment steps to the recruitment managers (kudos @usman @sid @paulo for the smooth takeover! 
). We are now recruiting continuously, and with several newcomers hired on most of each weekly recruitment iteration – which is great, as this was the upper bound of my output when I was doing it alone. But it looks the number of newcomers we need now outpaces the rate at which good candidatures are received.
So, since we now have a greater capacity for both reviewing new candidates, and for welcoming newcomers, it’s time to look at expanding a bit the sourcing of candidates.
Currently we post in every month in:
- Hacker News
- Stack Overflow
- We Work Remotely
- Open edX forums (occasionally)
I have started listing a few additional boards, to which I’ll be posting the job ad over the next few weeks, to evaluate the quantity and quality of the additional candidates we can get there – I’ve focused on the remote worker boards:
- https://www.flexjobs.com/
- https://www.workingnomads.co/
- https://arc.dev/
- https://remote.co/
- https://remoteok.io/
- https://remotemore.com/
- https://justremote.co/
- https://pangian.com/
- https://jobspresso.co/
Anything else that you think would be worth considering? An additional way to get ideas would be to consider where you would look for a job, besides the boards listed above.
PS: If you know anyone who could be good to join the team, or have a way to relay the ad somewhere where there could be good developers, don’t hesitate!
