(Cofounder @ Remotion here.) One challenge with hiring macOS devs is that they don't usually come from cookie-cutter backgrounds. For example, they might have been indy devs, or consultants for a while. And those folks often fare poorly in traditional tech interviews.
Hiring for macOS led us to drop standard loops in favor of contracts, projects, or however the candidate can best demonstrate skills. We have a recent blog post about "objective-based recruiting" here: https://www.remotion.com/blog/standardized-interviews-stifle-diversity-fix-them-with-objective-based-recruiting https://www.remotion.com/blog/standardized-interviews-stifle...
- ushakov 4y agonot a macos dev, but this is a great hiring approach!
- gen220 4y agoThis is a lot like hiring for great iOS / android developers. And also great web developers, FWIW. IME, the most value-generative and knowledgeable frontend/UI people I've worked with have all had really "weird" backgrounds and would fail a "standard" software engineering interview loop, and most would fail hard. I've worked at a bunch of companies that tried to have the same hiring process for frontend and backend engineers, and it's never made sense to me.
