Interviewed (YC S15) | Software Engineer | REMOTE (US, Canada, Brazil)

Interviewed builds job assessments that let candidates demonstrate their real world skills so that hiring managers don't have to rely on resumes, behavioral interviews, and personality tests -- which are inherently flawed.

We are looking for great remote engineers who have experience working with Rails or React.

We've been using Zube at Interviewed and really like it.

We'd been using Github Issues previously but found it hard to prioritize our tickets in a way that was natural for us. The ability to drag and drop reorder our backlog has really helped with that.

Also, the UI works well for quick updates during our morning standup.

Designed to be easy to navigate with the keyboard and replace the spreadsheets I normally use on projects.

If anyone out there needs something like this please shoot me an email. Planning on launching a V1 this weekend.

This is not really a valid use case for meetup.com, which is good for recurring, topical meetings.

Plus, its not free to start a new meetup.

You really need to add searching capabilities or categorize listings by country/state to avoid scrolling every post to find something in my area that interests me.

Listing any required years experience with a particular technology seems like a mistake.

A good engineer is a good engineer and shouldn't need N+ years experience with a language/framework/tool to make an impact on a good team that's willing to do a little training.

I would also add: how well do you handle rejection and failure?

Anything that reduces friction for a user to get started with your product has the potential to be a good thing.

But if your goal is to make money, and not just generate usage, I can see some possible problems with this approach. Not having a way to circle back with a user is bad.

Also, if someone truly needs a solution to the problem you are solving a signup form will usually not stand in their way.

It would be interesting to A/B test the entire user lifecycle to see if this approach has impact on the metrics that actually matter.

What is the Chilean government doing to bring over already established, innovative companies?

It seems that one good way to inject innovation is to introduce companies that can employ young, entrepreneurial Chileans and set examples they can follow in future ventures.

We are currently looking at the smartphone app approach. The phone approach was easier prototype which is why we started there.

We started with the phone because it was easier to get a working prototype out the door and its truly a ubiquitous solution.

We are looking at building an iphone and android app. Its starting to seem like a more viable way to make the service profitable.

We are considering a monthly fee, but for the economics to work we will need to be making roughly that $1 per hour of usage to cover phone call and other costs.

We are still searching for the demographic that needs some sort of web content on the go, can't get it on their smartphone and is willing to pay for it.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
