Gun.io

Are you tired of working with agencies that do NOT understand how to hire engineers? Then look no further! We are a platform for engineers by engineers. Yes, you read that right. We have a team of engineers building our talent product and a team of engineers that helps match our top talent to your open positions. Not to mention a talent pool of over 3,000+ fully vetted senior engineers across all types of skill sets. If you would like to learn more about how to work with us, email us at team@gun.io!

Did you know we have an amazing AI feature within our platform?? Our very own David Egbert wrote an amazing article recently about our new gunAI feature that allows you to search our database of vetted engineers by simply copy/pasting your job description! He goes over things to consider before implementing AI in your application and pink elephants:) Hope you enjoy this article especially if you are considering using AI within your organization! https://lnkd.in/dJZ885xM

Did you know you can make 💲 💲 by leveraging your own network and making introductions to us? That's right! We have a robust referral program where we are offering a $2,000 bounty for any client referral leads that result in a company making a first hire through us. A few other things to know [aka the rules]: Unlimited Referrals: There’s no limit to the number of referrals you can make! New Customer Hires Only: Referral rewards are only granted for referrals that lead to a new customer making their first hire via the Gun.io platform. No Self-Referrals: Self-referrals aren’t allowed (but we’d still love to talk!). How to get started? There are two ways we can do it: Option 1: All blank boxes and buttons, easy: https://gun.io/refer/ Or, Option 2: Say you wanted to make a direct introduction to someone you’ve worked with in the past….just shoot us an email team@gun.io

See you after the summertime refresh, Space Cowboy

Community and networking are some of the best and easiest ways to learn new skills, share ideas (and get some pretty solid feedback), and maybe (👀) it's even how you land a gig down the road! Our focus is on providing high-performing, top engineering talent to organizations. What better way to get to know you as an engineer (and human) than to connect? Come join us in our corner of the internet with a bunch of other like-minded folks! Easiest ways to get started: 1. Introduce Yourself: If you haven't already, say hello on our Discord server (link in comments); nice to meet you! 🤝 Share a bit about your background and what you hope to gain from the Gun.io community. 2. Engage: Join the conversations, ask questions, answer questions, and provide feedback. Participation makes communities vibrant and dynamic!! 3. Attend Events: I cannot stress enough how interesting and insightful our guests are every 👏 week 👏 -- it's awesome! Topics vary, so we'll likely have a few things right up your alley! Our Meetup page is linked below. 4. Explore Resources: Dive into our blogs, podcasts, and events archives for continued learning and growing your skills. Any which way you decide to say hey—whether you’re here to learn, share, network, or simply connect—we'll be happy to have ya!

Do you know if you are charging enough? One of the topics we constantly hear within our community is making sure you are pricing yourself accordingly ESPECIALLY if you are a contractor. So, we decided to create something! The tool is called 'Rate Recommendations' This tool leverages years of insights from on-platform hires and millions of verified data points! For developers, if you want to check this out, Log in and view the recommendation when you edit your rate. For hiring managers, submit a role to get a custom-tailored recommendation based on the role description, tech stack, experience, and more.

We had the chance for Kevin Van Gundy to come and present to our virtual engineering leadership community. He talked about 'Building a Resilient Career in the Age of AI'. If you aren't a big reader here are the cliff notes on how to separate yourself! 1. Be insatiably curious - great engineers are always asking questions about how things work. 2. Master of Analogy - This skill is crucial in bridging the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders. 3. Wildly Empathetic - Empathy ensures that the solutions you develop are not only technically sound but also user-friendly and intuitive 4. Partnering with Non-Technical Teams - While we may care deeply about precision, it’s more important to explain the broader picture. Want to read the entire article? Link in the comments!

Heffalump operator: because every codebase needs a little nonsense.

Want double the search power when looking to add an engineer to your team? When you sign up to hire from us, you can search within our database yourself AND our team works in tandem uploading candidate profiles to your account to review!

We are a platform built by engineers for engineers. We allow hiring managers to quickly find, source, and hire talented pre-vetted engineers.
