I've scowered linkedin and it's not as easy as you say. Any suggestions on how to utilize the tool in a more efficient way?

I haven't tried to search by groups, so we'll see what I come up with.


We currently employe a remote developer. Good talent, its a bit hard to manage when you're not in the same room. We're strong believers in remote workstations. My #1 priority is getting the work done. I don't care where or how you do it, as long as it gets completed in a timely and efficient manner.


great insights, much appreciated.

We're happy to talk to your recruitment team. My email is eli(at)arbibo.com


Definitely take your point to heart. We've bootstrapped this thing so far, but have recently started seed rounds to find money to pay the talent.

What's the going SV rate? including some equity/title included?


Engineering, depending on the discipline, is on the scale of 140-200k right now, which translates to $80-$100/hr

Also don't try to force traditional business rules like 9a-5pm hours, most engineers tend to have flexible hours, be more focused on outcomes than hours.


For co-founder caliber talent? $100/hr or equivalent. Minimum.


Bare minimum. That's less than my consulting rate in Alabama, and it's not exactly Silicon Valley out here.


I feel like an hour of consulting work at that rate is slightly different. I personally wouldn't expect to bill for 2000 hours of work in a single year as a contractor.

As a technical co-founder, I would expect the full 200k/yr as salary, plus equity and a cash bonus if goals are met.
