Startup Summer - Candidate & Company Meet-up Session
Organized by
Ok, fellow tech startups,
we know hiring the right tech talent for your business is extremely time-consuming, expensive and most importantly, you cannot be certain that the candidates you have all have the right attitudes you're looking for.
There's good news! We're here to help you hire great junior developers through a hackathon where the students will complete a series of challenges to showcase their skills and attitude to solve problems independently under pressure.
Startup Summer is a 7 day, intensive qualifier event where we've hand-picked the top 10-15 candidates from a pool of hundreds across UNSW, UTS, and USYD, to complete a series of tech challenges around full stack web development.
Our metra in selecting our candidates is focused on a student's attitude, ability to solve problems independently and if they have an "entrepreneur's mindset". Rather than selecting students just because they are from a computer science degree but doesn't have the right attitude and understanding towards product and customers, we back students who've got the correct attitude and have shown incredible initiative through their ability to solve problems, learn quickly and ship features within our 7-day qualifier.
We have an extremely exciting pool of candidates such as an ex-day trader with advanced math majors who's made tremendous progress building JS stack application, all the way to high school graduates who have made a chatbot in Angular and Node.js to help manage his school's timetabling.
We are specifically looking for 10 early stage, funded startups who have a clear need to recruit great tech talent efficiently with confidence. We'll work closely with these 10 companies to validate our approach to help companies hire clear insights and data.
Instead of paying the current tech recruiters a hefty cut of 10% - 15% first-year base salary, we'll take a small referral fee of $800 per successful candidate hire, which is a fraction of the cost in terms of founder's time, effort or recruitment costs.
