This summer, at Woobius, we hired some interns. We used a British-centric equivalent called GumTree, and it worked well, even for programming interns. The article proposes a repeatable process for successfully hiring from Craigslist:
- Create an informative ad with the right information
- Create an application form with the right questions
- Post to Craigslist and wait for the applications
- Select the 10 best applicants and send them 2 further, very detailed questions
- Interview the 3-4 people you like best in person
- Hire!
