Instead of old and tired format of job ads (which are only read when somebody is actively looking), HackerIntro Insights newsletter is made of articles about companies — their challenges, history, culture. One can get an insight on things and projects before they even start.</p> <p><a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--HlCDzLrf--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/dtcyz05f5elrfl3pji1i.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--HlCDzLrf--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/dtcyz05f5elrfl3pji1i.png" alt="Screenshot"></a></p> <p>We have one rule: it <strong>must</strong> be interesting.

I am an entrepreneur, software engineer and I run <a href="https://hackerintro.com">HackerIntro</a>. I built it out of personal frustration over how inefficient tech talent recruitment is — on both sides.</p> <p>Have you ever felt unsure about how to deal with recruiting emails?</p> <p>Say, with something like this:</p> <blockquote> Hey, found your GitHub account and was really impressed. We at Amazing Company are building X and I thought you might be a good match. Let me know if you want to chat! </blockquote> <p>Should you respond? It seems to be a polite thing to do. On the other hand, engaging takes time and energy and saying "no" doesn't always feel good.</p> <p>In fact, at the right time, it might have been an interesting opportunity for you. But instead it becomes an email you never replied to.</p> <p>At HackerIntro, we want to create new relationships that work out great. And we do this by giving you a way to communicate your availability, interests and aspirations to most qualified matching opportunities.</p> <p>Today, it starts with a specialized <code>@hackerintro.com</code> mailbox that gives you control over who can communicate with you and when. This is something you can leave out in public (your GitHub account, LinkedIn, etc.) and give recruiters and companies that are hiring a strong signal that you might be interested, without having to get inundated with mass-sent emails.</p> <p>Tomorrow depends on you. There are a lot of ideas that are being experimented on, like compensation for screening calls,<br> auto-tailored resumes, anonymous profiles and so on. Whatever works out best for everybody will stay!</p> recruitment jobs gigs email
