HireHand | Mobile developer (iOS/Android/React Native) | Old Street, London | https://www.hirehand.co.uk

HireHand is a venture-backed staffing platform changing the future of work by filling the growing demand of people who want more flexibility and variation in when and where they work. We started out over two years ago in the street food industry, and we've been showing steady growth as we've expanded into more hospitality-related industries like fixed-location restaurants, bars, cafes, etc. The challenge at the moment is scaling the matching of 200+ jobs per week with our pool of workers. We assess the skills of workers, they let us know every week when they're available, and then we match jobs with workers as they come in using a custom ranking algorithm.

We want to build a mobile app for iOS and Android devices. This will allow us to streamline the process of engaging the individuals doing jobs on our platform (e.g., inviting them to jobs and confirming hours). You will be responsible for developing our Android and iOS app from scratch using the technologies you see fit. React Native seems like a good fit, but we're open to alternative approaches.

As developer #2, you might be interested to know who you'd be working with. I graduated from Imperial College twelve years ago, worked for a company building group chat software (kind of like Slack), then worked for SwiftKey (mostly server-side things; before they were acquired by Microsoft). I spent some time travelling/freelancing, and then joined HireHand when it was all being run out of a spreadsheet.

@pabloadolescent : It sounds like you may have had a negative experience, and I'm certainly sorry to hear that. @BuckRogers : We certainly respect your right to not apply if you do not like the process. That is why we are very up front about it on our application page and publicly post all the challenges in GitHub. Folks are welcome to review them prior to applying to decide with full knowledge of what may be asked.…

I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I do think the various homework problems are fair and pretty well designed. If 3 people have reviewed each submission, I would have expected to get some feedback besides you are passing. If it is a rigorous review process then you should be able to easily say what criteria were not met. I think there is also the perception that the roles you can complete homework for, corr…

Honestly, feedback is the number one unresolved issue we have internally with the current process. We would love to give more feedback in a constructive manner on either code challenges or position fit. We can't even give our hired employees detailed feedback on their challenges after they've started.

I'm not a lawyer or HR professional so take this as just my personal ramblings not an official legal or company opinion. But, basically, as I understand it, because we're a federal contractor we're subject to some very strict federal regulations around hiring process and record retention. Additionally, as a remote company, we're subject to a hodge-podge of state level laws and regulations. Sadly, the combined impact means the only safe course is to not give any detailed feedback on code challenges to anybody.

That feels deeply unsatisfying on a number of levels, at least to myself personally, but it's the honest reason we can't as best as I understand it.
