Talented engineers are a hot commodity right now, especially in NYC. And since the job economy is doing so well, candidates still have so many opportunities to choose between. <\/p>\n\n
We've been using a variety of ways to get in touch with engineers in our stack:<\/p>\n\n
-Inclusive job posts (devoid of years of experience)
\n-Trusted 3rd Party Technical Recruiters
\n-Reaching out directly to you in any way imaginable! (it's called sourcing)<\/p>\n\n
I imagine it must get tiring to hear from recruiter after recruiter all boasting about how great their opportunity is for you, and how you'd be a \"perfect fit\" on the team.<\/p>\n\n

I don't code myself, and I can't help but feel like I should know so much more than I currently do. So, I bought a Coding for Dummies book that I'm using to get up to speed on the concepts of HTML\/CSS\/Javascript. Talking with our engineers at Knotch is also a huge help. But I can always do more. Our stack is Ruby on Rails, Javascript w\/ES6, React\/Redux, PostgreSQL, and data architecture in AWS.<\/p>\n\n
Let me put it to the community:<\/p>\n\n
