[:en]What is a Structured Intervew?[:es]Entrevista estructurada: qué es y por qué usarla en selección de personal[:pb]O que é uma entrevista estruturada?[:]

[:en]Structured interview, also known as a standardized interview, is well known for its impartiality and, as the name implies, its standardization, resulting in a very effective personnel selection technique. It is almost twice as effective as a traditional interview.

[:en]The Cost of Hiring the Wrong Developer[:es]El Costo de Contratar al Desarrollador Equivocado[:pb]O Custo de Contratar o Desenvolvedor Errado[:]

[:en]A common mistake of software development managers is not spending the time and resources needed for a good selection process. Probably this is because few are aware of the high cost of hiring the wrong developer. I hope that after reading this article you will change your mind and realize that there is probably no effort that is not worth it to get the right...

[:en]When to use Intelligence Tests in Recruiting[:es]Cuándo Utilizar Pruebas de Inteligencia en un Proceso de Selección[:pb]Quando usar testes de inteligência no recrutamento[:]

[:en]Intelligence testing is used in many selection processes, but its use has long been questioned for many reasons. The first questionings were based on the concern to discriminate in case the test favors or disfavors people with a characteristic that should not be a deciding factor. For example, imagine that while in India a foreigner applies for a Java developer job and encounters the question...

[:en]How to hire Developers for a Startup[:es]Como contratar Desarrolladores para una Startup[:pb]Como contratar desenvolvedores para uma startup[:]

[:en]Most ventures have some relationship with technology, either because of their very raison d'être is to offer a technological product or because they require technology to operate efficiently. This means that probably one of the first employees to be hired by a startup is an IT person. The problem is that, as we saw in previous posts, these profiles are one of the most demanded....

[:en]Bilingual Java Developer wanted, juicy reward offered[:es]Se Busca Java Developer Bilingüe, se ofrece Jugosa Recompensa[:pb]Se busca desenvolvedor Java bilíngue, se oferece uma recompensa suculenta[:]

[:en]A better title for this post would have been "The most in-demand development professionals 2018", but I found this one more entertaining. Any manager or recruiter who has been looking for a bilingual Java developer recently will understand the irony. This position is pretty hard to fill, especially if you add that you are looking for an enterprise-level Java developer. Back 20 years ago, hiring...

[:en]Attracting the Best Developers[:es]Como Atraer a los Mejores Desarrolladores[:pb]Atraindo os melhores desenvolvedores[:]

[:en]In several posts I have commented on the importance of a good selection process to incorporate the best developers into a team, focusing on the testing and selection processes themselves. However, recruiting IT professionals is not like the last decade (and less like the decade before this one). I started working as a developer in the late 90's, after studying the "career of the future"....

[:en]If you are a development manager or an IT project manager and you have the mission to build a development team, the first thing that I would like to tell you is that you have a great opportunity since sometimes you cannot build a team from scratch.

[:en]Online Programming Tests for IT Recruiting[:es]Pruebas de Programación en Línea para Reclutamiento y Selección de Desarrolladores[:pb]Testes de programação online para recrutamento de TI[:]

[:en]Selection processes for evaluating and selecting developers tend to be longer and more complex than others. One of the challenges in evaluating candidates for these positions is ensuring the candidate's technical competence. Written technical evaluations are often used, as well as technical interviews. Technical interviews are also useful. But, since they require valuable resources to be allocated, they cannot be applied to all candidates. Written...

[:en]The Future of IT Recruitment[:es]El Futuro del Reclutamiento TI[:pb]O Futuro do Recrutamento de TI[:]

[:en]I remember about 25 years ago, in my first job searches, when the newspaper was the main means for publishing and searching for job ads. I ran through the pages of the newspaper with a highlighter in my hand and marked the offers that I found interesting. The next step was to print enough resumes (or photocopy them) and send them to the addresses listed...

[:en]Companies' struggle to get the best IT talent and hire the best developers is becoming increasingly fiercer. The demand for developers is very high and in many countries, the amount demanded simply exceeds the number of unemployed people in the area. This is why companies, in general, must fill their vacancies by taking the professional out of the company where they are currently working. In...
