Looking to Employ Software Engineers

Work better, together.

Most software recruitment teams make the same fatal mistake, they write a job specification document, hand it to HR, post it online and hope that magic will happen.

Everyone is trying to find software engineers through , reviewing databases of resumes that are stuffed with keywords and matching the job specifications with keyword rich resumes..

REALITY IS MUCH MESSIER AND WILL SURPRISE YOU
