Editor's Notes
- - Follow Matt Buckland (@elsatanico) for more awesome tweets and recruiting hacks!
- Over 26 million people use Stack Overflow every month – that’s the population of New Your, London and Tokyo combined + some!
- 85% of programmers prefer to work at a place where they can identify with the work, so create a sense of belonging. Creating a family feel – free lunch, beer bashes, ping pong
- The Hacker Way - “Hack” in the Facebook sense has a different connotation than you might be familiar with. In this context, the word “Hack” is more akin to the word “Thinker.” By encouraging employees to “Hack,” Zuck does not mean steal, invade, or exploit, but rather to pound away at the keyboard to produce imperfect but brilliant code for experimental and creative new purposes.
- Buying programmers the tools they want will ultimately show you respect their work and value their contribution. 8.6% non-negotiable 41.9% - Very important
- -It’s essential that your employees actually care about the work that they do, which means they need to like what your organization produces. If you can’t get candidates excited about your product during the application process, your chance of successfully recruiting them will crumble. - Find your “fan base” – Borrow My Doggie
- https://www.borrowmydoggy.com/ - hired 2 devs with a single job posting on StackOverflowCareers
- 96% said that independence is an important factor One of the best-known studies on workplace happiness found that that employees are happier when they have an ability to control things around them
- - 98% of programmers said it was important to have good management and no bureaucracy.
- - Link your dev team to your StackOverflowCareers Company Page – developers love working with other smart developers - http://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs/companies
- 38% od programmers will only work at a company that will give them the opportunity to learn and grow
