interested_devon Poachbox – Recruit Startup and Tech Talent

So what's different from you guys and Hired/Developer auction other than the 'anonymous' aspect?

interested_devon Poachbox – Recruit Startup and Tech Talent

I love the idea of this. I'm trying to find a new job right now and it's a pain trying to stay somewhat anonymous while searching.

What I don't like about your approach is the fact that the entire experience of applying/signing up to be poached feels half-assed.

You guys didn't make your own form and the embedded version doesn't really match the rest of the site and looks just thrown together.

There's horrible design inconsistencies (serif fonts mixed in with sans-serif fonts on the same line, and no.. it's not design).

This feels like a badly done DeveloperAuction/Hired clone with an anonymous aspect.

Why make prospective employers apply? It feels like a better experience for both parties would just be a listing of candidates, their skills, their location, etc with the ability to start up a conversation (via email or private message or something). If the guy gets hired, he can remove his posting.

Is this a 45 day trial period full time with benefits? Or just being a contractor with no benefits for 45 days?

What are some of the tools that you use to support this async culture in different time zones?

Do you require people to work specific hours?

This sounds like the place for me! I've been looking for months for a company with a culture like yours.

I love that you guys are completely open but would love to know what your engineering interview process is like?

I'm awful at interviewing and would love to know how you guys handle it.
