The increased prevalence of project-based work in tech is no mystery. Discover the advantages and disadvantages today's tech companies are seeing from assigning budgets to specific projects instead of full-time headcount.

I tell all potential Heardians I interview, "this is one of my favorite parts of the job”, and I mean it whole heartedly. Often I find myself walking away from the call with a new nugget or new insight. Things that I generally over-index on: - Curiosity. Is this person probing me and asking me why we do what we do? Do they follow up when they hear something of interest? Are they curious about the role, the company, the business, the team? - Introspection. A natural companion to curiosity. Does this person bring self-awareness when speaking about past experiences? Do they reflect holistically around the work that they're doing? - Willingness to play ball. Does this person respond well to changes in perspectives, differences of opinion, and in general, is willing to "play ball" and talk through different assumptions and hypotheses? If the above resonates with you — we are hiring! - Staff Software Engineer (https://lnkd.in/gWSpa5Wx) - Senior Product Manager, Accounting (https://lnkd.in/g6kMBncC)

Not to be rude to Nicolas specifically but I keep seeing these posts done quite poorly. 1) no link to careers page. 2) no actual locations or roles listed. Any reasonably good marketer will talk about funnel friction and it's the same for just about anything where you're trying to get someone to do something. It's the exact same concept for many aspects of posting on here. The easier you make it (presumably) the better. So think about what would be someone's first three actions if your call to action resonated and look if you can make it even easier for them to respond. There's a reason I don't have much difficulty finding guests for any content I do, I remove the friction so they can just sign up. If you're hiring, especially right now, MANY applicants are exhausted because of how terrible the application process is at all companies. Have a little empathy and make it easy for people to figure out if there's a fit and apply.
