Recruiting the Top 1 Percent

There’s a better way to find and hire the very best employees.

We’re doubling in size each year, and we’re always in the market for great software developers. In our field, the top 1 percent of the work force can easily be 10 times as productive as the average developer. The best developers invent new products, figure out shortcuts that save months of work, and, when there are no shortcuts, plow through coding tasks like a monster truck at a tea party.
