http://3QAYJ.com looking for 1-2 REMOTE WEB DEV - Full time

- 1) What’s the best thing about your current job?

- 2) What’s the worst thing about your current job?

- 3) What things could you wish for to make your current work better?

These were the questions I asked my team in an email in June 2014. The intention was to use their answers to better understand and prepare a job posting in order to attract similar minded people to our company.

Their response however surprised me:

- "The best thing in my current job is free of implementation ways and time limits..."

- "Flexible work hours (and even days!). Ability to move to another place any time. Good team."

- "The best thing is freedom in ways to resolve the tasks. When I'm choosing tools, libraries or approaches I'm free to pick whatever will be the best for task. And not limited by some company policies as it was on previous jobs..."

- "The working flow standards... Company trusted politic... Team voice... The happy team... Strict and smart team lead..."

- "No hierarchy. Almost :) I feel we work not only for one person but for the company, moving this business forward - that's really inspiring."

In my opinion their answers were better than any job posting I could have done. It inspired me to rethink the whole way we normally post a job. When looking for skilled likeminded people to join our team we shouldn’t make a job post; rather we should make a “company pitch”.
Most job posts are dictating who you are and what you should do – a common sentence in a job post often goes like this: “you got a master degree in computer science and like to...” or “you will develop solution concepts by using...”. We don’t believe in such requirements. We don’t think of you as a work unit in a production line. Rather we seek talents and personalities whom we would want to invest in a relationship with. We firmly believe modern companies need to rethink the way in which they attract similar minded people. We must open our door and introduce our values; as this is the first step towards creating a bond. After all we are the team that want you to join us.

With that being said welcome to 3QAYJ.com (www.3QAYJ.com) – our company pitch project to attract you!
