The importance of a technical project: So is there are technical in Spain?
Weeks ago he spoke in another post "where the hell are JASP. It was a post that caused many good reactions also some criticism, as many reactions I received nearly 150 contacts, emails, phone calls and HP in this regard. It is curious that not only reactions to the internet, but 5-6 people who work in my environment and other companies known for years have told me they want to talk to me about it and are interested.
That issue, to seek someone who can lead the project Madrid.net I got a little parked by the mess that we have had with the launch of Yes.fm last week and also because after publishing the post, I have literally "buried" in a mountain of requests for meetings, emails and HP with which I could not now do much because it's something that I do not want to delegate and I personally look at it carefully and starting this week. I promise a day early.
But if it is difficult to find young people and valid for a captain, is even more difficult to find technical quality seniors to integrate into a project. It has always been a desperate, it is perhaps for this reason that when someone finds a valid and eager to learn and grow, such as when we met Chief Technical Jaume Riutort, you should try to keep it, and it will stack years , huh, James?
Most of the staff complained that when working in a startup or in an internet draft are usually assessed and charged two little hard, also have expiration date because after the initial development are not as useful, and sometimes this it is a recurring complaint of the technical staff is absolutely true, and always end up preferring to integrate into a multinational or a development company than a company website. It is also true on the contrary, many lack the technical skills are not sufficient and capable of shouldering responsibilities. It is difficult to say how, but complicated to find good technical level and resolve.
One of our partners told us the other day as the development of applications for Media Center had to bring a person in Australia ... to live in Spain! (it is a good job and it pays very well!)
The draft Yes.fm we bet, and is not very common in Spain, for a complete development of all our in-house applications. So today on the Internet is quite difficult to take that path and the vast majority of startups in Spain opt for other routes as companies outsource development work with freelancers distance, or even customize open source applications to save costs and require a profile Developer lower and faster. We think we can bear the cost of assembling a good technical team and will be a key to a service that will be in continuous development in the future as Yes.fm
Right now to draft Yes.fm have recruited several people to go so fast, that includes not only technical but also other profiles, and most also easier to find people as Marketing, Business Online Advertising etc.
Last Friday we mentioned at a meeting to take weeks after trying to search Infojobs (if not maybe we should have also tried other sites, Do you think we should have done?), We get ½ page planteábamos "El Pais" fast for people to find jobs we need. Before doing so I wanted to publish this post, I am somewhat disappointed to have to resort to paper for people to find an Internet company.
We seek programmers PHP / MySQL / Javascript. With expertise in programming on the following technologies: PHP, SQL, Linux, HTML / Javascript. Knowledge of version control systems (Subversion, CVS or similar), knowledge of publication platform Wordpress, cross-browser JavaScript library (jQuery, ExtJS, Prototype YUIm, etc..) Unix scripting (bash).
Experience is not a criterion, for example on our team there are people working for many years, and other leading 1 years working and who have no career or experience, and cracks. For a novel, we prefer to value above all the ability to renew itself, curiosity, the desire to learn.
If you're looking for the person (or if you know a suitable person, contact with her!) To believe that we can offer good working conditions, and a very attractive project and a good atmosphere. The work is performed at our headquarters in Madrid.
This post is dedicated to someone Prisacom, 3 times he has commented on an anonymous basis, with Nick "disillusioned" and "anonymous" (and from the IP of your company, a little lack-of-view it, but good ... :-D) to talk to the technicians.
Tacho, late, but I did.

Hello Alejandro,
I recommend something I have seen work with very good results.
Give your current employees participate in a campaign that is to help the company to look for the HR that is needed.
If an employee submits to present a valid candidate for a position and personally guaranteed their good attitude and get a financial incentive if that person exceeds the internal systems for validation of your HR department and was hired.
The incentive should be payable in tranches, the first 2 to hire a person to pay 50% of the second set and when the employee has passed the test that includes months of his contract is one year or in the company.
It is valid and that people checked the company attract talent for their own interest:
First to get a premium business ecosystem incorporating valid and capable people.
Second to receive a financial incentive.
Thirdly, to increase the value of your Karma in the company.
Employees more effective recommending people could receive incremental incentives in the event that its recommendations were incorporated into the company successfully and received favorable performance reports.
Far from generating a problem this provides great value to the company.
I lived directly in companies and 2 other cases I have mentioned and we get a very good result that helps to reduce the scourge of the rotation.
@ Fernando, just last week I suggested to my partners. Today or tomorrow we do it. Thank you
@ Jesus Alonso, is very interesting. The only thing I am afraid that the technical profiles are very specific, but for people in marketing, administration, secretarial etc, sounds very reasonable and interesting. I liked Jesus.!
Alexander,
I will tell you that where better results were obtained with this system is in the technical departments.
If you have good technicians in your company from a Chief Technology Officer until a Junior Python programmer who is a machine, all of them want to join the high-level business people and that are "humane" and can work with them team.
Usually the high-level design, development, analysis and programming are people who know how to identify mistakes that others have the same, similar or superior features.
What I learned most is that in this area is that everything is managed by a technocracy.
On top of that pyramid that knows more than all of his team and that is why I respect them.
Ojalá te sirva the tip.
Greetings.
Jesus Alonso
or by post
On one hand I do not believe that using open source solutions require a lower rate schedule, requires a profile of someone who has experience in integration. Get to know a project that does not know and adapt to something someone is not a novice.
As for finding staff to paper seems to me that it makes little sense (especially if we talk about pure technical people). Infojobs it is always the same, the offers are repetitive, it is difficult to find something to draw attention, as if all that is technically an interest in the language you are programming. What if we talk about the methodologies used, the team, philosophy. What if a product is to promote a blog and show their characteristics is not the same with a business? I know the companies in which everyone would want to work is not exactly the technologies they use, rather by its philosophy of work.
In tecnoempleo I met my current partner after searching a lot in this Infojobs ... Infojobs q is not worth a lot of people!
Looking for Internet workers off the Internet, "I do not like ... I find it strange that you can not find anyone among Infojobs and tecnoempleo.
Incidentally, I have not seen anything in Infojobs, in the name of that company are the deals?
As a worker, when I saw an offer I liked knowing that my company was getting into.

Do not tell me you do not find a developer for yes.fm javascript? (basically, is that what you're asking). If you leave any option eighty


That job is attractive, no shame to be in Madrid. The problem is not, it is an opinion that Madrid should already be saturated with that profile, everyone who studied with me and you have to work there
Furthermore my attention to looking for yes.fm, it is not already fully developed? What have you done with that schedule?
@ Droid, "those who planned," as you say, still in draft. But tneemos many developments that make and implement, this is a continuous product development and need a lot more people.
Alejandro recently posted on my blog ... our selection process since the two partners are engineers believe that "know" to reach people who have our profile, perhaps you can get some ideas from there:

@ Jordi Bufí, to be sure it is. Jordi Thanks!
I'm getting a passport ...
What we did suggests Jesus Alonso also Hostalia and I recommend it. People who have been recommended has always worked.
Regarding the development in-house from scratch, I'd love to sacaras time to do a post on the matter, with its advantages, and so on.
Oh, and tecnoempleo works pretty well, but the largest number of CVs Infojobs is always, by far.
that if there are technical, that a friend of mine once told me that he saw a ...
It is true that comlicada is the thing, I took time looking for a junior, and nothing, so if you already know about a CV,
a hug
If there are good technicians, there is no (not usually) is money to pay for them.
If you offer a 1700-2000 net in Madrid, a teacher, after winning a competition about that and much more quality of life.
We appeal to the passion, the American dream, is fine, but with 25, then 30 and start coming to value other things ...
So, disillusionment has spread from the top down, as an example, many of my colleagues on the faculty from the private, a few years after the official program in such a multinational project career ... yes, it runs a sandwich, we do not have time to eat

What there is not technical? is not true, what happens to prefer the evil known as horrible to discover. I meet the same profile, but I doubt you need to accept the job offer, why? for several reasons:
- Which usually leads the project have no idea who speak technicians, and takes an attitude of "do not tell me your problems, just give me a solution," rather than an attitude of "You understand perfectly, look together a viable solution. "
What makes each department look just for its business and enter into direct conflict with the other departments "do this quickly and quitémonos Brown over as soon as possible and will fight in another department with the things we have left half done (it is not our problem). "
- Furthermore, the scheme is laughable, "if you recommend someone and that someone passes the test, and if hired, and if you hold x time in the company if it meets the goals and then you reach a compensation ( usually little or no specified, promises, promises, promises ....). Too "and" for an unclear purpose, and recommended that a time does not depend on us but the person recommended. Gentlemen should be the reward at the height of the effort and should be guaranteed, that such a thing? "You have 20 days to complete this task, with these specifications, if you meet the target of 20 days before you earn € 50 a day in advance and 30 € for extra features that add to the task."
That is a direct incentive, and clear "if you work or earn more profits," because the company is better or worse, I give relatively equal at the end of the month if I'm going to charge the same, but this way the anger as well as it can go because I benefit directly from this and also make me feel part of something.
Basically, the issue is to treat people as people, as if trying machinery purchases x money per month, to behave as such and began to live, to enjoy, to feel good after leaving the job and leave his role as machines and we have several companies known as the corporate culture and as said earlier, we prefer the evil known as horrible to discover all that we want to change the day we know that our profile is very needed, and not cost us lot, making "picacodigos" for another employer in a different mask but same way of thinking.
It is sad but true.
I find it strange that nobody has mentioned http://trabajofreelance.es but the truth is that I have not found any of the above what was in trabajofreelance.
I totally agree with javi, the open source is a substance that gives as masters are in fact some universities, and not necessarily because they require low-skilled people. In fact, do some outside Napa, you need to know very well the system you choose and its possibilities. Otherwise you may find that the customization is just more complex than if we had developed the project from 0.
A greeting.
@ Alex Moreno, freelance work I use and works well for freelancers miuy and projects, but in this case is to face someone in the workforce
Yes, there are technical and very good, with some college graduation, others do not. Even some very good people. Depends on the employer to know whether they are valid and capture them, keep them.

I've seen in a bid Infojobs asking "Director of Media Arts," I'm not entirely sure it has all but yes.fm for the painting.
If an art director valoráis of the 15,000 to 18,000 euros gross, what range of programmers who are looking for? =:-O
Incidentally, I hate the job offers that do not pay and the range is limited to one "will be evaluated in light of the experience provided." We always play as "not going to pay you what you promise vouchers but what we need ... and reject the offer.
I have not seen anywhere where is the headquarters yes.fm, I found only "Madrid." They also reject bids
Those who have experience and working more or less I think we move for three reasons: money (lots of money to offset the risk of a "startup"), reducing travel time to work and improving working conditions (that looks with suspicion because we all know what those conditions are variable).
If the offer tempts because they do not mention any of those points ... is left to pass.
