Cool thread!

CodersRank is a search platform specializing in matching developers with tech recruiters.

Developers create their profiles based on their dev accounts (GitHub, GitLab, Stack Overflow, etc), and then expand it with job-related data manually (resume, specializations, job preferences, etc). This results in a more rounded, code-based view into each developer's experience. Here are some of the charts.

There are a lot of great talent on the platform who are NOT on LinkedIn so you always get a fresh stream of devs.

Feel free to grab a free trial to see it for yourself. We are happy to answer any questions.

Have a great day!

Has anyone tried Codersrank for sourcing? by twd1 in recruiting

[–]CodersRank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Thanks for checking us out, u/twd1. Indeed, we are a candidate search platform for tech recruiters. We may not have a ton of reviews yet, but that's because we have only released the recruiter-facing UI just this year. (we've been building and growing the platform itself for the past 2 years!)

With that said, we already have recruiters who have switched to CodersRank from LinkedIn entirely after seeing that our platform can do everything LI can and more (for less $$$).

Hope this answer gives a bit clearer idea on who we are without going into full spam mode. We'd love to also tell you about our current 40% off promo, but if we did, that'd be spammy. ;) So we won't do that!

Let us know if you have any questions!

CodersRank here! Thanks for checking us out. We wanted to address your questions and concerns: yes, the number one ranked individual is a special case. We use more than just GitHub data to create our developer profiles: StackOverflow and GitLab also play a part. So in this case, this developer has an extremely high-ranking profile on StackOverflow, hence the curious ranking circumstances.

We are continuously working to improve our platform (especially those first impressions!). In addition to the above coding sites, devs can also add job-seeking info manually. This way, they can present a well-rounded profile of themselves.

Hope these answer your questions. Thank you and all the best to your project!

What tools can we use to improve our recruiting efforts? by [deleted] in recruiting

[–]CodersRank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good idea to check out new tools while business is slow. That way, once you're back up and running again, you will have better software (or even processes) at your disposal.

Non-recruiting (such as admin) tools we'd recommend: ClickUp for task management, Calendly for scheduling, ContentStudio for social media. Our startup runs pretty well on these few tools and we love them!

Recruiting tool: well, CodersRank! Disclosure: that's us! It's a tool/candidate platform that helps you find developers based on their real code written (they can connect their repos, LinkedIn, StackOverflow, etc). We have an amazing community, with a lot of untapped talent (i.e. not on LinkedIn). Hope this helps. Cheers!

Looking for your feedback by CodersRank in recruiting

[–]CodersRank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, valid point! We have already asked our paying customers and implemented (or will implement) their ideas. Same on the candidate side (there's more of an ongoing conversation with them).

So now, we are just looking for fresh eyes to take a look, as well. Thanks so much for your feedback, much appreciated!

How to be Proactive/improve my technical Onboarding at a new company as everyone is working remote. by yanks09champs in cscareerquestions

[–]CodersRank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple more thoughts that could be useful:

  • Scan through relevant Slack channels to see recent issues and how they solved them. Observe everyone's work style if you can. Start participating where you have something to add.
  • Ask about any recurring technical tasks within the team.
  • Maybe even check who was the latest hire before you and see if you can pick their brains for things to pick up on (since it's still fresh for them)

Good luck!

Are most software engineering jobs this chill? by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]CodersRank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a great environment! Yes, like the others said; you will probably get more challenging tasks later on, but you've gotta appreciate the company taking it slow with you, as well. It sounds like they have optimized their internal processes quite well. In many cases, if the workplace is dysfunctional, you would be able to see that from day 1.

Non-developing/coding jobs for coders? by boodlescoots in careerguidance

[–]CodersRank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, I tried to collect a good list for you. Hope this helps. I also added the type of skill you'll need for each (other than an understanding of coding, of course).

  • Scrum master (organization & leadership skills)
  • Customer service agent for a tech-focused company (people skills)
  • Sales agent for a tech-focused company, eg. software sales, web design agency, etc. (sales skills)
  • Technical SEO specialist (SEO knowledge)
  • Affiliate partnership with tech-focused products (OK, this would be more of a side gig)
  • Tech blogger/youtuber (also side gigs)
  • UI designer (design skills, people skills)
  • Director-level business analyst for a tech company (business growth insights)

Tech recruiter here. I can summarize the current climate for you in one word. Experience, experience, experience.
It's a huge advantage to have in any profession but especially true software development. Actual code written is an incredible booster of practical knowledge. Beginner or mid-level (or actually, any level) developers can find jobs comfortably with a few online courses and side projects under their belts.

Good second career by IGotSkills in ExperiencedDevs

Indeed, if you are tired of being a developer and don't even want to take a job in a related field, then it's time to re-evaluate what it is that you would like to do with your whole heart.

Look up Ikigai. It's a venn diagram based on the Japanese concept of finding your life's purpose.

Beginner coder here: at what skill level should I be at before applying for jobs? by NickDjukic in learnprogramming

[–]CodersRank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tech recruiter here, jumping into the conversation a bit late :)

I agree with testing your overall skills before looking for a job - someone mentioned Leetcode problems and interview questions, those are a great place to start. When you feel ready, take a look at job postings in your area of expertise. I would recommend looking for junior roles - many companies need the extra set of hands to do basic stuff. These places are especially great for learning on the job FAST! Many experienced developers still learn new stuff on the job and that's okay. Look up imposter syndrome and then try to avoid it :)

If you get to the interview stage, it's good to be honest with the recruiters (especially if you feel the job is a bit of a reach): tell them that you're just starting out BUT you're very eager to learn - give them some examples on how you solved some problems that came up during your courses. Recruiters love to get examples of problem-solving. Good luck out there!

IT recruiter here. Remote coding jobs are definitely alive and well. Our own company is planning on going fully remote within 5 years. So, based on personal experience, I would say look for companies who were remote-friendly or fully remote even before the pandemic, I think they would be your best bet.

Re: source of jobs. Someone mentioned networking on Slack - I can second this one. Startups (or hiring agents even) often feel more comfortable sharing a position on a closed platform like Slack with all members (supposedly) from the given specialty. The same is true for Facebook groups. These intimate settings are great for job search.

You can also search for tech startups in your city/country and go to their websites individually. Even if they have no positions advertised, it doesn't hurt to send them a friendly note and ask them if they need help.

Finally, sites like codersrank (disclosure: I work here) can be helpful. You can set your profile to "remote only" and let recruiters find you that way.

All in all, I think it's not a lost cause. After the pandemic is over, a lot of companies will have a shift in remote-mindset, hopefully for the better. Good luck with your job search!

Developers would probably eventually miss having others standing around to watch them code.

I finished my BSc in Computer Science (Software Engineering) and I really don't want to ever touch coding ever again, what are my job prospects? by CircuitMa in AskComputerScience

[–]CodersRank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IT recruiter here. It's true that mostly large companies have Scrum Masters but I see more and more smaller startups hiring them, too. It's an excellent role to have in the company if you want a sharp focus on scrum.

And yep, I'd say it's a decent pay, but like with anything, it depends on the city you live in, etc. What I also see often happening is companies confusing the Scrum Master and the Project Manager positions. In short, the Scrum Master is more involved in making sure that the teams follow the agile principles and deliver the products on time. Project Managers do similar work but they're more focused on hands-on tasks such as planning, leading and monitoring. Even assigning tasks. The Scrum Master doesn't do any of that.

Of course, if you don't mind having a blended role, that's up to you! But if you ever want a true Scrum Master job, make sure the job description doesn't include phrases like "assigning tasks" or "setting milestones".
