25:46Announcing Work at a Startup
From Y Combinator · Published Jul 22, 2018 · Watch on YouTube
TL;DR
Y Combinator launched “Work at a Startup,” a common application and matching platform for engineers seeking jobs at YC companies. Hiring is described as a hard “matching problem” that YC is addressing with software.
Key insights
- Hiring engineers is the “number one problem” YC founders face after the program.
- Work at a Startup originated from YC’s long history of helping companies hire via Hacker News job section and an internal founder forum for sharing candidates.
- The initial beta (Dec 2017) intentionally did not ask for resumes; resumes were added later because founders wanted more candidate information.
