Hey everyone, hope your April is off to a killer start! Like in last month's Who is hiring I wanted to share all our numbers for complete transparency. March just came to a close and Buffer stands at 1.4M total users served by a small 21 person team spread across 14 cities and 5 continents. 130,000 of our users are actively using the product each month. We generated $350,000 in March, and we have $580,000 in the bank…

Well Joel, I don't know why Buffer is reposting this stuff every month even though you don't seem to have open headcount. This was response from Sunil from last month:

"I’m sorry to say we couldn’t bring you on board as our next Hacker at this point. I hope you don't take this personally. We were absolutely overwhelmed by the huge volume of people like you who sent in their fantastic experiences and ideas for what they would want to achieve as part of Buffer.

At this stage, we were only looking for a few more people, so the choice was extremely difficult to make and we had to turn away a lot of genuinely amazing people."

It sounds more like a template that was sent across multiple people.

It would appreciate if you only post here if there is genuine opening unless you are just craving for more and more applications(that doesn't make sense).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yeah really. This is a particular strain of bullshit that I've been hearing about a lot recently. It flows from the hire slow fire fast mantra of "lean startups." It feels and sounds like the cheapening of talent/expertise and people. Frankly I think treating people like reality show contestants even once they're in the door is bottom of the barrel behavior.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! I understand the problem for Buffer, but this isn't the solution. I've heard of companies who offer people to consult on weekends for a predetermined total number of hours to accomplish much the same outcome. Annoying, but I'll play ball. ...but really. I seriously doubt any high-end dev talent is willing to take such risks. And if you think this hiring strategy would be successful i…

I don't know what's worse, the 45 day trial or the "congratulations! You've jumped through 3 fire hoops! Now you have the chance to come spend a full day being interviewed by 10 different people!" stuff.

A lot of companies have probation periods though.
