I've started responding to recruiters with this list of requirements

Company Requirements

I'm definitely not looking for work. However to provide some helpful guidance for hiring like-minded engineers, I would only consider working for a company if it met these requirements:

  1. Concrete, measurable plan to increase the number of women and minorities in engineering roles.
  2. I would only be willing to interview if there were women/minorities in the interview pool for this position.
  3. Commitment to using and contributing to open source.
  4. Collaborative, friendly atmosphere where pair programming is encouraged.
  5. Meaningful work with clear linkage between work and company goals.
  6. Demonstrated commitment to ethical business practices, e.g. B corp certification.
  7. Commitment to career development including yearly conferences.
  8. Demonstrated commitment to work/life balance, e.g. 40-45 hrs/week.

Thanks,

Nathan Haneysmith
