BaseCase | Berlin, Germany | Software Engineer | http://basecase.com | Remote, Visa

Our primary product is a sophisticated web application which allows non-developers create interactive presentations.

We're looking for talented front-end and back-end developers. Our technology stack is Javascript / jQuery / HTML5 on the back-end, and Python / MySQL on the back-end. But you don't need experience in our stack - we know a good developer can learn on the job. You can apply here:

-) https://basecasecareers.recruiterbox.com/jobs/fk0hffr

Currently our biggest 'gap' is on the front-end, so I'd like to particularly encourage Javascript/UI/UX experts to apply.

We're also looking for OpenERP / Odoo developers, to ensure our smooth operations:

-) https://basecasecareers.recruiterbox.com/jobs/fk0hiy9/

We can support remote workers, and are willing to assist in obtaining a work visa for Germany if required.

We have been profitable for several years, so we can offer very competitive salaries, with stock options.

Some relevant background videos:

Our hiring process involves 'offline' programming tests followed by ~2 interviews.

Cheers, Diarmuid Glynn / CTO

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 deserv…

I appreciate the clarification! To be clear, I wouldn't say we've had any issues hiring, save a few hiccups on the communication end early on (I'm aware of one other out-of-band incident similar to the OP's story; perhaps the same instance?). I'm fairly confident we've sorted out any issues with the process at this point, and we're now letting everyone know where they stand consistently and in a timely manner.

You ask for email at techjobs@ziprecruiter.com, yet you cannot answer it. How many mails did you receive since April when you posted this again? Was it hundreds, thousands, millions? Is it too much trouble to take ten seconds of your time and actually paste a canned negative answer to the emails you receive?

We do try to respond to all responses to this thread that come through that email address. It is humans replying, not a bot, so it is always possible to miss an email. I encourage you to email again and apologize for not responding the first time.

Here's what to expect from our hiring process: First, I'll email you back within 48 hours. Then we'll have a 30-minute get-to-know-each-other call followed by a 30-minute technical call. Then we'll do a 60-minute remote pair coding session and finally meet the team in person.
