6nomads - Find a full-time remote job at the tech startup

Love the platform! Any roadmap for adding digital marketing roles?

Hey everyone! It's Denis, founder of 6nomads — a platform where tech startups hire the best remote engineers and designers. This is why I decided to create a product for remote community: 1. I believe that the future of work is remote. And not only me — knowing how many awesome projects for remote jobs were built recently. Like Remote Ok by @levelsio and Remotive Jobs by @rdutel. They help the best companies to hire the best talents instead of tying their search to one location. No office means no limits. I know that from my personal experience as a startup founder. I made mistakes but I learn from them and I'm sharing them in our blog to make other founders believe in themselves and in their power to build and manage remote development teams. 2. Talent is equally distributed. Opportunity is not. Talented engineers live in Ukraine, Spain, South Africa, and any other country while top tech companies are concentrated in Silicon Valley and a few other tech hubs. Companies should understand that the biggest trend now is freedom — of choices, of movement, of lifestyle — that only remote work could give. That's the only way to hire and keep the best people in your team. 3. Traditional recruiting is no longer fit for tech companies. Candidates still have to browse hundreds of jobs, create CVs, fill out insanely long and ugly forms, complete a 10-step interview process with the same depersonalized questions to receive "Sorry but our company can't offer you a job this time". We added a pinch of agile technology to recruitment to make it less frustrating for both sides. Now we run "Hiring sprints": every 2 weeks we select 6 great candidates and match them with tech companies with relevant remote vacancies. Companies have only 2 weeks to interview, choose and hire talents. Within this short period of time engineers and designers are receiving up to 5 offers from tech startups instead of wasting time on irrelevant communication with recruiters. Our aim is to create a sustainable platform for remote job search where reliable talents and companies will meet each other and build the future together. We've only started our journey and we'd love to hear your feedback on 6nomads.

Hey! One of the first users of this project, the team is great and always ready to help, they take any feedback seriously and put it into action! Its a very important niche too! All The Best!

Are there going to be marketing jobs in the future? Would love to work from Tahiti via 6nomads.

Nice idea, but too long realization with iOS and mobile specialists...... pity...

Great product for startups and big companies. Very quick, responsive, easy to use.

Very nice product! :)

Do you only believe in the future of remote tech and design jobs? Do you plan to expand to jobs beyond IT?

I just got a rejection email because someone probably less technical than me glanced at a couple open-source projects on my GitHub and didn’t like some changes. One comment even specifically taking issue with changes that Apple’s IDE makes with white space (so this person is clearly ignorant of mobile development). If you don’t get someone in there who knows more about software engineering, or at least someone who realizes that a person’s best work might be in hidden repositories, you’re only ever going to have mediocre engineering talent. I’ve been doing this job for >4 years and never once worked for a company that made its repos public so people were able to see my work. Seems like you’re really only interested in people with enough free time to contribute to a bunch of open source projects, which excludes 95% of experienced full time engineers in the States. Anyway, just a little feedback about it. I’m not actively looking for a new job, but figured I’d sign up to see what it was all about. Since now I know that the review is so arbitrary, I definitely won’t be sharing with my communities, and literally just created an account on this platform to share this.

Nice design of the website. Congrats with the launch!

Awesome! Loved the developer task, certainly it will sort developers with laser focus.

Looks interesting @eulerr . Are you planing to add other non-engineering roles?

Like the graphics and idea! How do you combat the obvious issues of Visa sponsorships/accepting contracts across borders? Is it U.S. only? Europe only? Will there be different sprints in regards to that or do you make sure that applying companies are fine with working with candidates outside their country of incorporation?

@eulerr I signed up in 6nomads almost 6 weeks ago. I went through the code review and interview process. The experience was delightful. Review I got from the interviewer was also really good. But during the sprint I did not get any interview from prospective employers. Most importantly I tried contacting 6nomads team to update me regarding the status, but there has not been any response for last 3 weeks. Till now I have applied for almost 78 remote jobs in last 8 months but unfortunately haven't landed even a single interview.

I went to signup -- you have a sub-set of languages available to engineers to select; namely missing functional languages like scala, F#, and the entire .NET ecosystem, C, C++, C# ; so this product isn't for me, even though it says it is.

Очередной клон Топтола, коих сейчас сотни.

You criticise traditional recruiting that sends “Sorry, can’t offer you the job” but do the same thing by sending a “Review Rejected” from a noreply e-mail with no context to WHY I didn’t meet the criteria. First, what’s the criteria? Second, provide your reasoning and feedback to believe the criteria wasn’t met. Third, be more positive and human with your language. “Feel free to apply again in the future” doesn’t motivates anyone and again doesn’t provide context to when someone would meet that said criteria. I’ve been a developer and a product designer for 10 years, recently took a startup from nothing to a successful global business, being the only product designer. Please send me another response with some feedback on from your perspective what I was lacking and how I can improve.

Signed up 3 weeks ago, still didn't receive any further information :(

I would be nice to tell people that java is not supported before you go through entire process and supply your linkedin and GitHub profiles.

Remote Work is fur sure not just a hype, but present and future. Great Service you offer. I'm on remote side of work life with https://fullstackjob.com/jobs/re...
