Startup Full-Stack Hiring Advisor -- 2
Budget: £18 – £36 GBP
I’m assembling a small hiring panel for our early-stage startup and want an experienced full-stack, mobile app developer to act as the technical voice in the process. The role is advisory rather than hands-on coding: you will refine our job brief, sit in on candidate interviews (remote), and deliver concise feedback that helps us choose the right engineer.
First, I’ll share the current job specification. I need your eye on three areas: the depth and relevance of the technical skill list, how well we define soft-skill and culture-fit expectations, and the overall structure and clarity of the description. Once that’s polished, we’ll move into interviews. You’ll join live sessions on Zoom or Google Meet, probe candidates on architecture decisions, code quality, and problem-solving, then summarise your assessment of each person immediately afterward.
Because the most valuable perspective comes from someone who has actually shipped products end-to-end, solid full-stack experience is non-negotiable. Familiarity with technical recruitment or startup dynamics is a bonus, but your credibility as a builder is what matters most. When you apply, highlight the projects that prove it and explain briefly how you’ve influenced hiring decisions before.
Deliverables I’m expecting:
• A marked-up version of the job specification with your recommendations
• Attendance at up to three one-hour interviews (more if we extend, paid additionally)
• A short, structured report for each candidate covering technical competence, culture fit, and any red flags
Everything will happen over the next three weeks, so availability during European business hours is helpful. If this sounds like a good match, tell me about your relevant experience and when you can start.
