I am in no groups and post nothing. Filtered out?&lt;p&gt;Now about your form:&lt;p&gt;Why would I like to work at ... whatever your company was called? You offer remote (big plus) and perhaps you pay well enough. (opens the main web page) Other reasons, no - you seem to be spammers so the only reason I&amp;#x27;d work there is money.&lt;p&gt;Coolest things you&amp;#x27;ve ever done work wise? Legit ISH but you&amp;#x27;re filtering out competent people that did their job well at a boring job. Does writing a (admittedly pretty simple) kernel driver without having access to the hardware and having it work with (i think) just one modification count?&lt;p&gt;Coolest things you&amp;#x27;ve done privately? None of your bussiness.&lt;p&gt;What are your prospects, dreams or expectations, career wise? No one in their right mind will answer honestly here, they will insert some canned interview lie.&lt;p&gt;The remote question is legit, but it filters out everyone who has worked in an office and got sick of it. Only people who have worked remotely can answer something meaningful here. Expect another interview lie here.&lt;p&gt;Btw my answer is &amp;quot;the most challenging thing is to pry out all the information you need out of people, and you need to be proactive about that&amp;quot;.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>How We Found Great Talents for Our Remote Company Without Spending a Fortune</title><url>http://blog.nightwatch.io/finding-remote-employees</url></story>

Takes time to fill those forms and then get an automated &amp;quot;no thanks&amp;quot;, can be discouraging.&lt;p&gt;Point is to reduce friction but not too much. (code this big function before applying).&lt;p&gt;I would add a salary-range too. As insanely cool the work may be, your kids&amp;#x2F;landord don&amp;#x27;t care that you&amp;#x27;re saving&amp;#x2F;changing the world.&lt;p&gt;Example: Coolest things can be in the resume, what would you like is usually the job-description&amp;#x2F;role etc, can you work remote (I already have x years remote in my resume) in same&amp;#x2F;different timezones .&lt;p&gt;Many forms double the things that already are listed in the resume (all questions taken from the form are listed in my resume).</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>How We Found Great Talents for Our Remote Company Without Spending a Fortune</title><url>http://blog.nightwatch.io/finding-remote-employees</url></story>
