How to Hire Developers

1. Go to the events the type of developers you want to hire go to. Do this even when you aren't actively hiring.
2. Try to sponsor or otherwise support the events/groups/newsletters/things the type of developers you want to hire like. Do this even when you aren't actually hiring.
3. Favor smart people who fit your culture over resumés that check your requirements boxes.
4. If you can't find enough examples of work to suffice, and must do a technical assessment, try to fashion a low-pressure one. Example: Make an empty private GitHub repo. Give them a task / thing to build and have them make it a pull request to that repo. If you aren't going to bring them in for an actual interview after they submit their homework, at least provide feedback on the pull request. If you are going to bring them in, chat with them about their homework, including talking casually about things they might do differently, or things they might add.

Why should you do 1 and 2 when you aren't hiring? You might
