To deal with the ever-increasing problems of hiring good people, Hackruiter, founder of Y Combinator, have ultimately taken a logical step and have become recruiters themselves.
Though Silicon Valley talent crunch has been recorded many times in a number of ways, but still there has been no attempts of hindering the process of engineering recruiting, until now and this is what has made this news quite shocking for the readers.
Nicholas Bergson Shilcock, founder of Hackruiter stated that many people approach hiring as a strictly technical setback, but they believe that there is much value in approaching this aspect from a human perspective as being more technical.
What Makes Hackruiter Special? One thing that has really made Hackruiter special in the market is that the founders, David Albert and Bergson - Shilcock are themselves doing the recruiting part.
With an engineering background both the founders have set off with the recruitment process and so, they are on with services like Pursuit and Top Prospect.
Qualifications that sound unfathomable to non technical recruiters are actually working great for the recruiters cum founders of Hackruiter.
They do not just match up words to words on a resume, but are doing an intelligent job here.
Bergson - Shilcock avowed that they are hackers themselves and so, they do not just talk to people, but are really managing the recruiting job efficiently.
In addition to the transparent recruitment process, the company is quite transparent with the offerings, as well.
They acquaint applicants with things like jobs can be easily found on QUORA jobs page, have API for listings and do not entail individuality of any applicant.
If a person does not match their expectations, they would even offer him a relevant recommendation.
If an applicant works at Quora with C++ and Python, then there is a good chance for him to get along with Dropbox, which is yet another C++ and Python shop.
Albert affirmed that big names like Microsoft and Google may target and track down colleges for their recruitment process, but small start-ups may not be able to set up a budget for this.
Though Hackruiter itself is yet a small name, but the founders are desperate enough to work with reputed companies only that can provide reference for engineers.
The company has also decided to begin with start-ups as they know them best, but will not preclude eventual recruiting for Google or Twitter.
The company is looking forward for a kick off in March, as they will be travelling across the country through Mountain View, San Fransisco, Boston and New York.
They will be meeting people who are interested to work or learn working at smaller units like Hackruiter.
In case, you are interested to get incorporated with Hackruiter and you are not near to any of the locations, then you can simply get in touch with them through SKYPE.
