Product Description
Product Description
A guide to attracting, recruiting, interviewing, and hiring the best technical talent.
- A comprehensive system for hiring top–notch technical employees
- Packed with useful information and specific advice written in a breezy, humorous style
- Learn how to find great people—and get them to work for you—in an afternoon!
The top software developers are ten times as productive as average developers. Ten times. You can’t afford not to hire them. But if you haven’t been reading Joel Spolsky’s books or blog, you probably don’t know how to find them and make them want to work for you.
In this brief book, Joel reveals all his secrets—from his years at Microsoft, and as the co–founder of Fog Creek Software—for recruiting the best developers in the world.
If you’ve ever wondered what you should be looking for in a resume, if you’ve ever struggled to decide whether to hire someone at the end of an interview, or if you’re wondering why you can’t find great programmers, stop everything and read this book.

A short book, well written and easy to read.Full of common sense, good ideas and insights on how to recruit and keep the best technical people (and why you want to). Buy two copies, and give one to your manager.

Excellent, practical advice,
This review is from: Smart and Gets Things Done: Joel Spolsky's Concise Guide to Finding the Best Technical Talent, Hardback: Joel Spolsky's Concise Guide to Finding the Best Technical Talent (Paperback)
This is great advice for techies or managers involved in recruiting software engineers. Having done this myself for 10 years, I can only agree with most of what Joel says here. He quickly dismisses the "trick question" style of technical interviewing, and provides practical advice not only in how to recruit, but how to retain.A great, quick guide to an often overlooked area.
