Headhuntable

Seeing that our industry has a big problem and needs to be restored by exciting projects, developers are indeed in need. But more often than not, you just spend relentless hours for the search, only to discover some sub- par candidates. That’s where Headhuntable.com comes in. It is a platform where developers can show off their work, socialize with other developers and really showcase themselves.

Founded by developers themselves, it is built with the understanding of the complexities and challenges of developers. So indeed, Headhuntable is for developers. The developers have the know-how and the experience of what it takes to build a product and how to screen developers. They’ve built applications and websites over the years so the understanding of the compositions of a ‘headhuntable” developer comes as second nature. And it quite shows on their site.

With Headhuntable, you can easily post a job which only takes a few minutes. You can start by simply filling in information about the job. You can also set minimum requirements so that the applicants can be reduced to the more qualified candidates suited for the post. Some of the requirements can be the Developer Status which represents the candidates’ level based on their knowledge and experience. You can also set the Challenges which allow you to see the level of knowledge in a specific skill set. The Challenge can be a multiple choice exam or code challenge. You can also specify the number of references or recommendations candidates must have in order to apply.

As a hiring manager, it’ll be like a short- cut to a long chase since Headhuntable provides you everything that you need to have. While as an applicant developer, you can simply browse some postings and apply if it’s appropriate to you. It’s basically a win- win situation for both parties.
