Crunch 2.0

Crunch 2.0 Hiring, It surely a hard thing for start-ups! In a start-up, what you have is a small team, limited resources which you have to convert to something good & big with the time; and the time flies like that Jet in the sky! Entreprenuership is hard because of involved unpredictbility, this unpredictibility makes it risky affair for many people out there.

Most of my friends work in technology-fims all across the town. I often meet people, lot of people who always say that apart from their regular work they want to start something of their own, some of them are pretty tuned with their “what they’re doing” in their office, most of them don’t have to do anything seriously with their “whatever they’re doing”, they’re just used to the system,  they’re just happy with whatever they’re earning as their salary at the end of month. Last couple of months most people whom I met reply… “I am on the bench dude! No work at all… I want to do something extra, but you know the tubeligh is not bulbing!”

Rediculous senseless chain-mails & FWD mails are their mode of communication. For example, my former room mates… every night when I used to see them, they were still discussing about the shitty chain-mails they have… some of them only do this stuff and pass the whole day! Sure, they might have good skills and they can actually code… they looked like programmed monkeys by the corporate culture! May be this is state of all talent-pool we have in the Indian tech-industry; most of them are used to the system.

That sucks, sucks really big time!

The Talent Crunch

This happens, and this sucks! If you’re a start-up & you’re using one of those cutting-edge technologies in your start-up, about which people only hear or read on the web, you’ll end-up explaining, explain a lot.

Most of the startups these days seem to be working on either Web 2.0 or Socializing their application & services. If you ask about the developer base for this platforms, it is much smaller than demand. I’ve been on both ends of the phone in calling up people looking for such talent and on the receiving end of calls with people asking if I know of people who are available for hire.

Inflation was defined as “Too much money chasing too few goods” and that principle more than applies here.

The issue with freshers these days seem to be:

  • Lack of Knowledge 
  • Lack of Programming & Design habits
  • The risk involved in hiring a blank slate

The good part in all this talent crunch is the availability of languages & designing that are easier to learn. Imagine explaining “pointers” to someone over a weekend. Ahem!
