There are persistent rumours circulating that IBM is about to lay off about 100,000 people. It could be that at least some of those will be  quality dev personnel who will be looking for opportunities.

They will find us.

We just need to ramp up our "Hired by the Blockchain" campaign a little.

And who do you think is going to call those people with job opportunities?

You and your buddies should run a 100%  delegate. Waste some more funds with your idiotic ideas.

Do you actually have any ideas? I don't think you've ever shared real idea, beyond your desires of some arbitrary refund you think you're entitled to.  Everything that comes out of your mouth is about something you hate. How would you grow the value of BitShares?

If even a professional recruiter can find his way here , then it doesn't really need to advise at all .

I think that if there was a paid recruiter then that recruiter should recruit mainly among "normal" developers and I also think that it would be most effective to recruit in countries where living costs are low but people speak good English or have one person instead who manages a group of say Chinese developers and who does all the communication between the Chinese and the core dev team...
With regard to altcoin devs: "Bitshares blockchain is hiring" should be a common theme and associated with Bitshares like DPOS (which is a branding / general marketing exercise).

Can you provide examples of software the world uses that follows your strategy? If there was a developer that was really that good, whats preventing them from making the move to California, where they can be paid a top salary in their field?  Why do Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Qualcomm, Yelp, Reddit, etc. all have their headquarters in California when it would be cheaper to do so somewhere else? Why would you want a team writing code in English when there is only one good English speaker chosen to be the leader?
I guess that this is partly done for specific development tasks. But it is still a good question. It was just an intuitive thought. Maybe others more familiar with software dev can share their perspective  since this is a big off topic.

The blockchain hiring thing is good, but the most honest way to look at this is as a business opportunity, not a job.
yes I agree you  +5%

This  +5%

If you try to compare this to other jobs it won't compete, at this stage.

If you look at it as a business opportunity you can then add future potential to the equation, which in turn makes it much more appealing.

Better as a job in countries where wages are low.  Not in a country like the US.  Of course recruiters are not going to turn up a chance to sell someone on a job, but I don't think this is the time for it to work out for anyone expecting American/European type wages... and recruiters get paid on a % typically, not sure how that'd work.
I speak for myself and only myself.

It's marketing - if they make 100 reach outs a day to our target market aka tech savvies, then we begin to make a solid connection into the hive mind of tech.  And If some of them end up getting inspired and working directly for us, all the better.

They are very welcome.  +5%

Note that it can be hard to stay transparent, engaged and motivated enough with the equity you get from Delegate pay at this moment in time. People here have true grit in spite of low pay because of ideological convictions and beliefs about the growth of the ecosystem and the potential of this project in particular.

Recruiters for this type of work is a waste of time

You're looking at this the wrong way.  How many marketing delegates are there? These guys are marketers, with a specialized focus on our core user base: developers.  Look at this forum...how many people on here do some kind of programming?  Whether they code for the project directly, or are just above average income earning investors who have money to speculate on crypto-currencies, that is a big part of our user base, and that is a core need.  If they decide to run, they have to follow the rules and maintain accountability just like everyone else.
