The problem is your internal recruiter doesn't get back to people either, you can ping all you want. Seriously. Sounds like you still have the same one.

Yeah, even I applied in July '15 and still no reply!

Preo Mobile Ordering | New York, NY | ONSITE | Full-Time | Multiple Roles | $50-150k (role- and experience-dependent) + bonus/benefits.

Preo has built the most advanced mobile ordering app and venue integration in the world: Order and pay for food and drinks from your phone, get an alert when it's ready, and never deal with a tab again. You never have to flag down the bartender at the club, waitress at the pub. We're rolling out in international markets with some very exciting new technologies and extremely powerful partnerships.

We're hiring to fill several roles, detailed in the postings on our AngelList page https://angel.co/preo/jobs. The salaries listed are base, on top of which we also offer an annual bonus based on personal targets, in addition to a longer term company target bonus pool. And benefits, of course.

We have several native Android products on both the customer and staff/operations side of things. We also have a fully native iPhone customer app in Swift, and mobile web app using React/React Router/Flux. Although we're willing to hire specialists, senior engineers who can contribute in multiple ways are always a plus. Specifically, if you're an Android or iOS developer who also has mobile web experience, you should apply.

Our backend is built out on AWS with Linux, Python, Flask, PostgreSQL, and other things. We're exploring some JVM-based technologies, Haskell, JavaScript, Haxe, etc. Someone with a combination of backend development/devops experience would be a great fit.

We're also looking for a more junior, full stack support role. Someone who would benefit from experience and exposure to a wide variety of things, and can help pick off the smaller-but-valuable engineering tasks that pop up. Small bug-fixes, intermediate feature work, and operations support. A little experience is helpful to show that you can learn, orient, and execute quickly, but this is expected to be more of a train-up role.

Finally, we're looking for a great project manager: someone who can help coordinate and track engineering, design, and operations scheduling. Previous experience, especially in software engineering, is required.

  * Android Engineer $80-150k: https://angel.co/preo/jobs/136209-senior-mobile-android-engineer
  * iOS Engineer $80-150k: https://angel.co/preo/jobs/136202-senior-mobile-ios-engineer
  * Mobile Web Developer $80-110k: https://angel.co/preo/jobs/136254-mobile-web-developer
  * Senior Backend and Infrastructure Engineer 100-150k: https://angel.co/preo/jobs/136248-senior-backend-infrastructure-engineer
  * Full Stack Support Engineer $70-110k: https://angel.co/preo/jobs/136268-full-stack-support-engineer

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That is very unfortunate. A CTO for a well funded small tech company should have recruiting as a top priority if they are looking to grow. It is really the only metric from which to measure an effective technical executive at that stage. It doesn't reflect well if you can't hire because your messaging is off or you aren't well organized.

Now my messaging is off and I'm unorganized? I can't comment on the circumstances of the original complaint given that I don't know the identity of the person involved. I can say that I've spoken with hundreds of candidates across a variety of technical and non-technical roles. We've hired ~15 over the last year and hope to find more folks that are excited to build with us. I can also say that as a "technical executi…

Apologies if that came across as a personal attack, just a general comment on the expectations of a very early stage CTO. To be clear I don't think your messaging is off, just that that is one of the reasons tech startups aren't able to hire, ie they don't know how to sell the opportunity.

However, if the OP is accurate it sounds like you/your organization went through at least a period of disorganization.

You deserve a ton of credit for what sounds like a sane approach to technology and including compensation upfront.

The developer position is more of an "we are always looking for good developers" rather than a specific job posting, but send me your resume anyway if you are interested.

Oof, bummer. Your experience is slower than average. We ran into a grading crunch when we launched our Enterprise product. When you submit your work to us, your submission is anonymous. Three engineers grade each submission. Platform Engineers will experience the greatest wait periods. The other roles tend to be quicker. Expected time-frame: * Proceed from application to work sample: 24 hours. * Complete work sample:…

It seems you truly care about feedback and the quality of your process. FWIW: I'm glad you are making these timelines transparent so people can decide whether the position is a good fit or not for them. As someone who is in the field for over a decade, it strikes me that this timeline is really long and you run the risk of getting people who couldn't get a better offer from another top employer faster. In addition, I…

I understand why you do but I don't really care how long it takes -- because I don't need a new job.

The one I have is just fine.

But I'll probably take a shot at this one because that "blind" process won't care how many trips around the sun I've made.
