Good blockchain developers are not standard interview candidates
from BlockchainGandalf Hosted by Keir Finlow-Bates
The best, most experienced blockchain developers with years of experience usually have a different background to your average applicant for a software development role. They're likely to fall into several of the categories below: 📀 they get obsessed with technology early on and like to work on new things 😠 they have strong opinions about traditional finance, and those opinions may transfer over into other areas 😵💫 they're risk takers - after all they sank hours of their time into a technology well before its worth became globally apparent 🤑 they've got a bit more spare capital sitting around than the usual candidate, so they're not (as) desperate for a job. 🤐 they're concerned about security and privacy And there are plenty of wacky or unusual projects out there to catch their attention. So if you put them through the usual corporate bullsh*t of grueling condescending interviews and pointless "do this at home" tasks, or ask them to copy/paste the resume they sent you (if they even bothered with that) into yet another recruitment portal, they'll walk away. In other words, it's a seller's market, you're the buyer, and you're going to have to rethink your strategy.
