We've had over 1.3K candidates apply to the 3 open positions at Mastodon so far, which is very exciting, but getting through them as such a small team is taking its time. Getting somewhere though!

@Gargron You obviously need to hire more people in order to work through the applicants.

@Gargron that's impressive :-) and I wouldn't want to be a HR person going through the pile of resumes. I'm pretty sure that most of the candidates are people with very strong programming backgrounds and it will be really hard to pick the right one. Good luck !

@Gargron I'll bet there's a lot of ex-birdsite workers in that pile of applications, itching to get revenge on Musk by making Mastodon even better. 🤣 Good luck with the recruitment process.

Do you need to hire a team to review resumes to hire a team?

@Gargron The irony. Needing employees to find more employees.

1.3K? Ist das Enthusiasmus oder ist der IT-Arbeitsmarkt so schlecht?

@Gargron Just let them print the last months coding output and rate them by weight.
I heard successful social media CEOs do it that way ;)
