I'm currently looking for a new job, and I have a problem: I absolutely hate phone / video job interviews.<p>I have 10 years of professional experience, I have a good CV and I think I'm actually good at my job. But I don't think I will get a job like without a video call.<p>So I thought: maybe I should build a platform for text based job interviews.<p>There must be thousands of great developers out there, who don't switch jobs, who don't apply to a position which they would be a perfect fit for, simply because they loathe job interviews, are shy, introverted or have social anxiety...<p>And companies are missing out on great developers. They are basically filtering out anyone who isn't good at interviewing. I get that for some companies or some positions, talking on the phone or per video chat is part of the job. But not for (every) software developer jobs?<p>I know that at least one company, Automattic, is conducting their job interviews via text. So it must work, even on the scale of a company with ~1000 of employees.<p>Maybe there are more?<p>I'm starting a wait list, and if you are in the same position as me: you want a new job, but you would like to do job interviews via text, please sign up. If there are enough people on the wait list, I will start a new platform, and try to convince other companies use this completely untapped source for new tech talent.<p>Wait list for developers: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScxkdroJ4NrOZFi_HTwEtR7szPKg4uQE_1WUEH9vuEznOEvZw/viewform<p>If you are hiring and are interested in this, sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSePfriC4xwSEUbw8u05UGfLUVpyGBGS79wFInEYrqQnYxPxJA/viewform
