We’re Hiring – Trying a Different Approach To Finding Excellent People

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009 at 5:30 pm

In the past we have used job boards and recruitment consultants to find the best people to work here at Busara. Sometimes this approach works and sometimes it does not, but one thing is for certain, this approach is going to be a long and very painfully slow process.

So this time I am going to try something different, I am going to advertise here on my blog for the ideal person to join the team. I am also going to add the job listing on some of the more niche sites like Djangogigs.com.

About the role – PHP & Django

We are looking for a superb PHP and Django developer with a passion for all things digital. Your role will be to manage the day to day running of projects and report directly to the CTO. The role will be a mixture of programming (60%) and project management (40%). The role is client facing at times, and will involve direct client contact to help them achieve their vision. It also involves a high degree of autonomy, and the ability to work with and code with an existing development team.

Here is a link to the person and job description. If you are interested please email me at cv at madebybusara dot com (no agencies please, we do not use them).

You can see our work and philosophy on our website: www.madebybusara.com.

Interview process

The interview process is very informal and friendly, and we are looking for the right person as much as the right skill set:

  1. Send in your CV and portfolio of work
  2. We will find the ones we think are best and create a short list
  3. We will invite you in to our office for an informal chat, nothing heavy, we just want to get to know you and see if you fit in with our culture
  4. If we think you are the one for us, we will invite you back to meet the team and they might ask you a few questions
  5. If the team think you are the chosen one we will give you a call with a job offer the same day
