https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12022004<p>"Basic Qualifications: •Experiences to grow mobile apps over 100 million downloaded globally are the strongest plus"<p>Every sentence is so full of fail, that it's like picking out diamonds, out of a a pile of diamonds. Protip: People reading Job ads are not "looking for their next growth challenge." They're looking for paychecks. Might you mention a single thing they would actually care about?<p>Are your chairs comfortable? What real humans would they be working with in the office? What do you pay? The friction introduced by neither party throwing a pay number out there, far cancels out whatever negotiating power you think you're getting.<p>Imagine if you treated your customer facing ads the same way you did this job ad: You are user, come spend time on our app so we can make money. You will drive up our minutes on site. You will make your friends use our app. You will be our customer now. This poor form, that you would never do to a user, you're doing to the people you hope to work alongside in the real world? Speak to their needs first, then yours...<p>It's probably poor form to make fun of a target so easy they've already been parodied in the Silicon valley tv series (the virtual mustache on videos app.)<p>Please treat your potential employees as you should you customers, speak to the things they might actually care about. You are writing the job listing for them...aren't you?
