Original posting

HireArt (YC W12) is looking for a Rails dev in NYC [H1B welcome] HireArt is a software-automated employment agency.  We believe that higher ed and the labor market are fundamentally out of sync, and so we're creating a new type of online job application that emphasizes skills rather than pedigree.   

We're a recent Y Combinator grad looking for an engineer to join the co-founders.  This is an opportunity to strongly influence our product at an early stage, and we hope that you'll take on a leadership role as we grow. 

We recently raised a big seed round and are offering a competitive salary and generous equity. Skills Rails experience is a plus but not required.  We're looking for someone who's literate in the full stack and is particularly strong in at least one of: * HTML/CSS * Javascript * A scripting language (e.g. Perl, Ruby, Python, PHP, ShellScripts) We also hope you're as excited as we are to tackle new problems in: * Online education * Labor economics * UX and UI * Psychometric testing * Recruiting About HireArt HireArt is rethinking the hiring process in a way that emphasizes skills rather than pedigree. Candidates submit our common app, which require them to do real work (e.g., create a PowerPoint, record a video sales pitch). We use a mix of humans + technology to evaluate our applicants and match them to jobs. 

We've already gotten tons of people hired for jobs they love and candidates spend hours at a time on our site. Employers (including big corporations and some of the best start-ups in Silicon Valley) say we're saving them time and money and we’re earning real revenue after just 6 months. Email jobs@hireart.com
