Notch

“Our findings are consistent with employees’ concerns that managers use RTO (return to office mandates) for power grabbing and blaming employees for poor performance." https://tcrn.ch/4aqZpzw

"If you are counting on forced hours spent in a traditional office to create collaboration and provide a feeling of belonging within your organization, you're doing it wrong." https://bit.ly/43nJlLY

The only office we would consider returning to. 😅

"I plan to never take a job that requires five days in the office ever again. Working from home has completely improved my quality of life, which matters most to me." https://lnkd.in/gqRxmBQH

Hire "top 1% developers" is a mantra you'll see a lot in our space - it's also one we'll never use. Here's why: 1️⃣ It's misleading - meaning only the top 1% of talent on that platform, which could be the bottom 10% overall. 2️⃣ Finding the right hire for your team is about skill, fit, and alignment - not arbitrary percentages 3️⃣ Real value beats buzzwords - especially ones making baseless claims At Notch, we set an engineering bar that filters the roughly top 10% overall. Then we use AI and human expertise to match your team with talent on over 150+ data points - because a top 10% engineer who's the right fit beats a top 1% engineer who isn't every time.

Yelp's experience suggests that remote work isn't just a passing trend; it's a substantial change in how businesses function and how employees approach their work-life balance. https://bit.ly/3Ifkh0d

We've worked with 100+ early-stage startups - and scaling the engineering team from a few freelancers to a full-time team after raising a seed round is the most overwhelming time for almost every startup CTO. Let's break down why: 1️⃣ You don't have a recruitment team yet so you're managing the entire hiring cycle - somehow trying to keep shipping new features and hitting product goals. 2️⃣ Posting on job boards and freelance sites means tons of time wasted sorting irrelevant profiles - inbound is hard for early-stage startups and 99% of CVs are 3️⃣ You're spending hours every day manually sourcing relying on past companies or schools to guess who's good - and for remote that strategy is 100x harder. 4️⃣ You maybe try an external recruiter, but without selecting the right one with experience in your domain and a deep network it's incredibly hit or miss. 5️⃣ Your running at least 3-4 interviews on 10-20 candidates to make one hire, wasting a lot of time on scheduling, rescheduling, and unqualified people. It gets a bit better after Series A, but still very time-consuming (and time is money). We built @notchteam to streamline these processes at scale. Just post a job on notchteam.com and we'll send you interested, vetted candidates so you can skip these hurdles and hire faster.
