Improving the quality of your engineer applications

If you’ve ever posted an engineer job on LinkedIn, you probably received a ridiculous amount of applications. You also probably spent way too much time bobbing and weaving through these applications, trying to find the top candidates to set up interviews with. For the ones that made it past your initial “screening” (AKA briefly scanning their resumes), you also probably wasted way too much time interviewing unqualified candidates.

What if I told you the solution to wasting time and money on recruiting is simply posting your job on another platform? What if I told you that there’s a way to only receive intensely pre-qualified applications? What if I told you that you and your team can spend less time interviewing low quality candidates, and more time interviewing world-class engineers? What if I told you that posting on this platform costs absolutely nothing until you make a hire - and better yet, what if I told you that you could test run these engineers entirely for free for a week before fully onboarding them? Even better than that - what if I told you that their payroll, legal compliance, taxes, and benefits were entirely taken of by this platform?

Welcome to micro1. Here’s how to get access to our vetted talent pool and post a job in less than 5 minutes.

Step 1: Register for micro1

Self explanatory, create a quick account in 5 seconds & let us know the name of your amazing company.

Step 2: Navigate to the ‘Open a Job’ section to create your first open role.

On the left sidebar, simply click on ‘Open a job’ to start creating your first open role. To get started, click ‘Open a Job’ in the centre of the screen, then proceed to start setting up the interview environment for your candidate(s).

Step 3: Define the role you are hiring for

We ask a handful of multiple choice or optional short response questions to use for the job posting. For this example we will open a job for a full stack developer skilled in Node.js and React Native.

Step 4: Use our AI generated job description, or attach your own

After you’ve defined the role but answering the above handful of questions, our AI will generate a custom job description based on this to include in your posting. Feel free to review this, customize a bit, and use it - or simply attach a PDF of your own JD.

Step 5: That’s it, now just let the quality applications flow

Keep an eye on the micro1 portal for the next 48 hours as our team matches you with deeply vetted engineers.
