Mike was thinking about recruitment processes in StartUps vs. recruitment process in Tech mogul companies like IBM, Microsoft, Oracle or new school Google, Amazon, Netflix, Facebook or Twitter.
Indeed, hiring and/or recruiting nowadays in one of the most challenging problems to overcome. Especially if you live in San Francisco, where every another guy is in tech.
How the companies starting to growth the small team.
First step is to read a couple of good books, good because they are really useful, and also good, because they are trendy, which mean all around already read them.
Books like: Zero to One (which is by the way really good book)
Second, you are trying to find right people, because you know that "proper execution is one of the key factors of successful startup".
And here you have million dollar question: HOW???
Well, let's discuss couple of possible scenarios
1. Recruiters - Possibly, but here is the problem, since recruiters are not always very tech knowledgable, the most common sense for them to look for keywords like web crawlers do :), which means, depends on your CV/resume your candidate can be selected even if s/he has a average skills, but perfectly (Harvard style) shaped cover letter and CV. (BTW, who gives a shit for cover letter nowadays, it's always, Yeah, I was dreaming about this job, I'm looking for new challenges and other blah blah blah)
2. Find them yourself. And that's a better way to find exactly those people you are looking for, but... here is another unanswered question: how reach them?
Introducing
TEAMABLE.ME
Teamable is transforming the network of your employees and friends into a big pool of talents.
Using ML and DL the application connect people to work with people they want to work.
Teamable helps companies hire faster and smarter by leveraging their collective employee networks and making it searchable.
So how it works? It's simple like "2 + 2" Let's say you need a someone who:
a. knows Ruby and/or Python
b. lives in San Francisco
c. has particular title
d. name starting with ...
e. connection of friend A or Friend B or Friend C
Application is finding right people with exact skills you are looking for, as well as indicating list of people who can possibly suggest that people to you upon your request.
But that's the only first part of the Teamable Application, second part is even more exciting to Mike, because he is struggling with finding right team composition every time when starting new projects. (like always and everywhere, everyone wants to have champions and gorillas in own team)
Imagine, you work for big company which has lot of projects. And every time you have upcoming project, you are asking yourself "How should I find best core team"?
All these challenges are applicable not only for Tech industry. For example, you are planning to start shooting new movie in Hollywood, and you need best camera guy, best lights engineer, best audio engineers, best make-up artist, etc.
Having existing pool of available resources is not enough anymore, so Teamable will help you to match the name of the best people taking into consideration key factors such an:
1. Years of experience,
2. domain of expertise,
3. Last projects involved (like background check for projects:) )
4. Success Rate from involved project
Mike strongly suggest you to check Teamble.me which will be big help for your HR and Resource Managers.
