The project
We cooperated with Single.Earth on a unique role with a rare tech stack: an engineer with the knowledge of Rust, C++ and Solidity, who’s passionate about the environment. First of all, we used different methods to source for the candidates: our network, LinkedIn, GitHub, meetups. Secondly, we designed the screening calls with the candidates in a way that helped us to gauge not only their motivation, but also the curiosity and ability to learn new technologies, since there was no one in the pipeline equally proficient with all 3 technologies. As a result, we have successfully filled this role after 2 months of sourcing and interviews.
