While we’d love to help match you to a perfect company, we built both Jobs and Developer Story to support our core mission of serving ALL developers, including those of you who just don’t care about job searching right now. If you have no interest in either, that’s perfectly okay too. If you’re looking, or even just curious, the more complete your Developer Story is, the better chance we have of matching you to the right jobs.
It helps developers show off who they are, the things they do, and (I hope) in an approachable way that’s maintainable. I helped build this because I think it’s an awesome way we can improve life over resumes and CVs. One step of improving that is our Developer Story. We’re already placing thousands of candidates in thousands of jobs, but there are many more thousands of jobs waiting for the right candidates right now. I believe we can be better at it than anyone else. Our position is relatively unique because we can help both companies and developers at the same time. We don’t want to waste your time or a company’s time – there’s so much inefficiency here we aim to improve with the whole hiring process.
For companies, we aim to match them with a handful of candidates that are an awesome match, not 500 candidates that barely match at all. The more companies and developers we have, the better and faster the matching we can do with developers and hopefully their dream jobs. In order for this to work, we need people on both sides of the equation. Companies are asking for developers, and we need experts to answer the call. We consider the developer experience in everything we do, which is what makes everything we sell as a company unique. These services in turn help developers find better jobs and also learn about companies in a way that is respectful to the user experience (no spammy inmail, no flash ads, etc.). We help companies build their brand and source technical talent through our business products: Display Ads and Talent. How We Make Money Stack Overflow Talent & Stack Overflow Jobs Very few companies have done this successfully, and we take great pride in the fact that we’re one of them. We focus on maximizing how we help users in order to make a great business. How much money we make is a direct proxy for how much we are helping our users. That’s why we’ve structured our monetization into a cycle that continuously improves the community, and doesn’t treat our product processes like some sort of resource extraction. But we’re here fundamentally to help users, and we exist because you decide to let us exist. Sure, money is required for sustainability. While this is a shared, company-wide belief, historically we’ve heard concerns about how we can both respect users and make money, or that the money is just this thing we do for our VCs or because we want to keep the lights on. I want to work for a company that respects that trust, and I do. It’s is my very strong belief that we have a built up a trust with the community that is not easily earned and is impossible to replace. I have high standards for how we behave, and I hope that’s reflected in what you think of Stack Overflow.
MONEY STACK HOW TO
Much more importantly, we’re figuring out how to do it while being, for lack of a better word, honorable. I spent countless hours last week talking with many of these people, some of whom I’ve never spoken to before, about how we grow as a company. I am insanely lucky to work with some of the best developers, sysadmins, designers, managers, marketers, sales, and all of the people who support that in the world. I’m coming up on 6 years of my life spent building what I consider to be the best resource developers have ever had. It’s also a great reminder of why we do what we do and how we go farther when we work together. Our meetup is an awesome time for remote employees like me because I get to see people I’ve never met in person before and discuss ideas. Why We Make Moneyįor a little more context on the timing of this post: I’m the architecture lead for Stack Overflow, and I’m writing this just after our annual company meetup. That extends to normally sticky situations like finances, and it’s why we’ve created projects like the Stack Overflow Salary Calculator to make our salary processes transparent. I want to do this now not only to answer this frequently asked question, but because it’s my and Stack Overflow’s belief that being relentlessly open and honest with our community can be nothing but good. What I haven’t explained yet, and what remains a mystery to most developers I meet, is how we make money.
I’m Nick Craver, and you may remember me from my posts about how Stack Overflow does deployment, how we do hardware, and how we built our architecture.
