Job hunting Atlassian style

by Sarat Pediredla

In a follow-up to my last 2 posts about the issues I see facing recruiting developers these days, I came across an interesting post by Mike Cannon-Brookes who is the co-founder and CEO of Atlassian.

Atlassian is a company I admire a lot and hedgehog lab is in part, shaped on many core concepts that Atlassian is built on (ignoring the irony that our core product is a bug tracking system like the legendary JIRA; although I am sure Atlassian PR will be quick to mention that Confluence is their core product now given the meteoric rise in it’s adoption).

What is surprising is that little has changed since Mike’s original post in 2005 and the issues seem to reflect our findings on developer CVs and interviews, a whole 2 years after his post.
