Damn, I wish we had more money because I’d happily hire both of the people we interviewed earlier this week. But, we really only have enough cash to fund one developer so we’re doing a second round of reviews to see which person is the right fit.
Candidate 1 is a little younger and quieter but he has all of the skills and some degree of experience with those skills.
Candidate 2 seems a little more experienced in business and development, but doesn’t have as much demonstrable skills and experience in the tools we’re using.
Personally, I like Candidate 1 a little more because he’s been there and done that and frankly, he asked our questions without a lot of chatter. The CTO sort of likes the second guy a little better … thus we need some more data.
The plan is to have a decision by Monday or Tuesday so we can let them know and start planning their onboarding.
I’m like a little kid who knows Christmas is coming but not here yet.
