While I was on vacation last week, my partners in Standout Jobs prepared a little video explaining the type of person we are hoping to have join our team as a founding employee.

I’m sorry I missed the filming because it looks like they had a great time.

If you know of anyone (include yourself as someone you know if you fit the bill) who has startup fever and is a great ROR developer then please introduce yourself.

Here are some more details from the job listing.

Standout Jobs is a new Montreal-based startup founded by Fred Ngo, Benjamin Yoskovitz and Austin Hill.

We believe:

  • The job market is broken.
  • Online job sites don’t work.
  • Hiring people should be an ongoing process.
  • Hiring people is about having conversations not bureaucracy.

Standout Jobs will change the face of recruiting.

But first, we need to build a core team of entrepreneurial-minded people, ready to change the game.

Standout Jobs is hiring a Ruby Guru.

We want to know if you:

  • Love Ruby.
  • Thoroughly familiar with the Rails framework.
  • Believe in clean code, iterative development and quick prototyping.
  • Love architecting and designing systems from scratch.
  • Have experience launching 1.0 products.
  • Have startup experience.
  • Won’t crumble under pressure.
  • Believe in the value of social media and networking, but not the hype.
  • Dream of running your own startup someday.
  • Believe in giving back, participating in the community and doing good.

How many of your answers were “yes”?

As our Ruby Guru you’ll be a core contributor to the success of Standout Jobs. You’ll be building great applications and have a significant role in launching a startup company from the ground up.

Before you send your resume over, ask yourself, “How will I stand out as a Ruby Guru?” Then send us what you’ve got. We want to start a conversation with you and see if you’re the perfect person for the job.
