Recruiters are lame and have no idea what they're doing. I know exactly what I'm looking for, so I'm posting here. --- Let's start with the boring stuff up front: We're a small, agile, well-trafficked startup in the sports analytics space. We've been covered by TechCrunch, we've been written up in Sports Illustrated, and now we're going to revolutionize the way users consume and engage with sports content. Our founders are ballers, our advisors are even more ballerous, and just wait until you see our product.. If you're someone who loves sports and also loves building products, then we're your company. Even if you're not a huge sports fan, feel free to reach out to us - we're more interested in someone who knows how to get stuff done. If you're wondering what kind of people we're like socially, we have a kegerator in our office and our most played artist on iTunes is Animal Collective. You should be able to get our jokes and we should be able to want to hang out with you outside of work. Our stack is built on PHP and MySQL, but we're considering moving to Couch or Mongo. What do you suggest? We'd love to know. We have a world-class designer and front-end developer on board, we need to find someone who is comfortable on the PHP backend, taking things from the browser-level all the way down to the DB. We're not looking for someone who is merely good; we're looking for *great* - '85 Bears great. Lemieux in the 91-92 playoffs great. Lemonade and BBQ on a Summer afternoon great. * Skillsets:* - Excellent PHP skills (should be comfortable building out an application scalable to 100,000 daily uniques) - Knowledgeable of system-wide architecture (setting up version control, release engineering structs, etc.) - Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup setting - Familiarity with beer pong and general precepts of social skill *Nice to have:* - Familiarity with HTML/CSS/jQuery (not totally necessary as we already have a world-class designer and front-end) - Sports fan (big, big plus - let us know what your favorite team is) *What we're not: * - Some huge, boring company where you'll have meetings about meetings - A company that works in a space that you could care less about - A startup that values founder's valuations over the future gains of the employees - A company founded by a bunch of suits who can't code Hello World in BASIC *Even though we're a startup, this is a salary position.* We'll shell out for the right employee. There is also a *TON* of equity involved; you're the third employee and huge part of our future success - we'll take care of you. You should ideally be in NYC, but that won't stop us from moving forward with the right person. To apply, just send us a resume (please send nik at numberfire.com) and we'll go from there. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

One of the largest start-ups I know gladly gives free alcohol to their employees, and yes, they drink during the day. But no is irresponsible, and it's been rated one of the top companies to work for. Like Nik's company (I assume), they are looking for top talent and wouldn't hire people who are likely to abuse the system. My guess is (though I don't know Nik) that his company also has an extremely relaxed vacation policy, because it isn't about the time you take, it's about the work you accomplish. -Matt On Mon, 11 Apr 2011, Kristina Anderson wrote: > These are the sorts of job posts that just? make me look forward to > switching to a different career...

We're a sports startup; we expect our employees to enjoy sports, enjoy hanging out with each other, and enjoy the common experience of building a company from a ground up. Therefore, we overwhelmingly prefer someone who will fit in well with us. A good place to start from on that whole "fitting in" mantra is not making outrageously incorrect generalizations. It's not for everyone and it's apparently not for you. Thank you for your concern.

It doesn't seem like good business to limit oneself to hiring those under 25 and/or those with alcohol abuse problems, especially for a CTO position...? You're automatically excluding the best talent from the search from the get-go, and attracting the sort of employee who won't be able to do the work properly, thereby resulting in a poor product. There's no way a job post like that can yield any "top talent".

The whole basis for this complaint is that you don't like their culture or how they're choosing to advertise to their prospective talent. In addition, you've somehow jumped to the conclusion that anyone who is interested in this would have to be under 25; I don't see anywhere on the jobs mailing list that job postings need to be geared towards people over 25. Guess what? I'm 24, and I happen to like seeing job postings on this list. In addition, you've also assumed that if I happen to be intrigued by their job posting or should happen to want to work there, I have an 'alcohol abuse problem' and that I wouldn't be top talent. There are no basis for these claims. If you don't like the job postings that are coming to the list, just unsubscribe. I'm not subscribed to this list to see "witty" comments from people who are going to make bold claims about people and environments they're not a part of.

Whatever people might think of the company, their culture, or whatever it is they're more than entitled to their opinion, but no need to put them on blast, break them down, and criticize the character of their current or future team members.

That being said, let's keep it positive and supportive and stick to the purpose of posts on this list, jobs, not hating!

It is not only prohibited, it also falls under discrimination of the equal employment act (Title VII, the ADA) - this is not limited to job advertisements; recruitment; testing; use of company facilities; et al. I urge you to be careful when posting mention of this - all it takes is one complaint.

The reason this list exists is for those with professional PHP skills to have an easily accessible stream of available positions. If a poster posts positions that are most surely PHP intensive, and if they do so with a passion as to attract a particular type of candidate, it is completely within the scope of this list. I'd rather have more posts of that than "Python programmer needed... who may have seen the letters 'P','H' and 'P' coupled together in a sentence at some point in time" type posts. Your hateful, insulting and just plain liable (The poster never mentioned age requirements) comments are in no way, shape or form helping people using this list, nor fairly representing the intelligent and professional subscription base. If you have criticisms to offer of the poster, having perhaps first-hand experience that an environment/position is not as it is being portrayed, then by all means share; but to just take the opportunity to lash-out at a post that you feel doesn't cater particularly to you and your employment needs is immature and ultimately poorly reflective of the professionals on this list. Mr Bonaddio I apologize on behalf of the list for Kristina's lack of wisdom in responding to your post, and I appreciate you taking the time and interest to post to our list, and to seek to describe the environment of your organization clearly. There are certainly members of this list that would find your available position intriguing, and there are others that may be very uninterested; alas, this is always the case in any industry, but your attempt to be up-front about the atmosphere I commend and appreciate.

He is just selling his fish, like you do almost daily on this list. I never directly spoke with Kristina, neither I live in US (I'm actually from Brazil), but I found her first email very aggressive and rude. I think the guy was trying to say he wants someone to be a CTO that has "Open Team" in mind. What I said here is something that I would love to see in whatever company I'd work for. This talk from Cal Evans illustrates a lot what employees expect from their bosses: http://blog.calevans.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Open-Teams1.pdf Maybe the guy used wrong words (I love to drink a beer at work, but it's also prohibited in Brazil - I just think it shouldn't be mentioned on job posting), but it's his way to do so. It's the same thing if any of you misspell something - as I probably did -, and in 20min appears tons of emails making fun of it. I expect more maturity not only on job postings, but also from anyone that follows this list.
