Algorithm For Hiring At TaraganaOctober 12th, 2006 It is hiring time again! Srini has devised an algorithm for hiring at Taragana which I think very appropriately describes our hiring funnel:
if (isClueless()) {
goToIBM();
} else if (runOfTheMill()) {
goToWipro();
} else if (thinkUMLIsDesign() && bigAmbitionToBeADesigner() &&
chooseVariableNamesLikeTheLengthOfThisOne()) {
goToAccenture();
} else if ( appreciateDesign() && (knowJava() || knowPHP()) && isTrueDeveloper()) {
welcome();
}
If that looks like you and you are located in India (or willing to relocate) please send your resume to hiring[at]taragana[dot]com.
Note: No animals or companies were harmed in the making of this algorithm.
