I used usertesting before and it's crazy expensive.

I now just embed a screenr on my site and get Mechanical Turk testers to record their tests per the instructions I left. Cost me a few bucks per test to even sometime less.

Your link for backend is for a Senior position, and in regards to your requirements for the Full-Stack position: I hope no one is still "Junior" after 3 years of professional experience...

Thats pathetic that 3 years makes you senior wherever you're working at. You (or your hiring manager) need to up your standards.

Although "senior-ness" shouldn't really be counted in years but in skill, no industry should be calling anyone senior without at least 8-10 years exp.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Here’s why I responded so badly to your rejection last month: You advertise “lots of room for personal growth,” and “Frontend, backend, junior, senior – if you have talent and passion you’ll fit in.” I’m currently severely underemployed doing IT stuff at a small organization, and I’m trying to switch to a development role. So, I applied for your company, and got rejected because I’m doing IT stuff. That was not just…

I understand that your job search has been frustrating, and I'm sorry you felt misled by our careers page. I'd prefer not to comment on our decision in this public forum, but feel free to reach out to me offline (you have my contact information of course) if you'd like to discuss further.

Then you should change your job description so you can quit wasting everybody’s time, having to reject candidates who don’t fit your mysterious criteria.

Also, “good fit” is one of the reasons our industry is so stuck in white male hegemony. Just saying.
