Great work! Did anyone reply yet?
The main reddit job post now has over 180+ views,
Ive gotten 4 applicants so far, but I made it to where Im not totally the middle man,
so probably more than half the applicants will go directly to Rob
I wasnt sure how Rob wanted to do this, in a more traditional recruiting environment, the recruiter does an initial email, does a call, sells the position, potentially checks credentials/references, negotiates salary/hourly rate, sets up interview, talks to applicant after interview, etc etc.
Recruiters typically charge a 20-30% fee based on 1st year salary if applicant is accepted/gets the job.
I am not requesting a placement fee, though I would be open to a small one if the community is okay with that. This is how recruiters make the bulk of their pay, by landing candidates into jobs.
(I have dealt with over 100+ recruiters in my career and have successfully recruited a $70k/year software dev at a previous employer)
Rob will still have to do work interviewing/evaluating each candidate, getting them set up and running, etc, and I havent gotten any feedback on what happened to any interested devs from my previous SegWit developer posts, (which is why it can be good to have a middle man to check up on candidates after the fact)
There were 2 comments on the reddit job post that developers wont be interested in starting out initial work for free.
Anyways, Will be interesting to see how this all turns out
