Interested in hearing from other people hiring native app devs (iOS/Android/MacOS/Windows) in the current market. Seems like it's getting harder than ever so I would love to compare notes! DMs open!
-
Still interested for more perspectives, things I'm seeing so far: - Remote is required. - US salaries on the up and up, companies looking to Europe/South America. - Sourcing and manager involvement can differentiate (esp for DEI).
-
My overwhelming takeaway was that the market is shifting and those who had continued to hire effectively had shifted with it. The greater the shift, the greater the momentum. - Global expanse: US -> EU / LATAM -> APAC - Contracting -> employment where critical mass - Comp++
-
Less quantitively, market is more risk averse. I.e. more people accepting offer and then cancelling (better the devil you know?). Suspect this driving desire for employment versus contracting in some locales. Also taxes for contracting less favourable, reduced upside to risk.
-
Also learned some things about top of the funnel / advertising / employer brand which harder to make actionable for others. Investment in employer brand does seem to have long term payoff (e.g. visibility of technical direction / employment setup), difficult to measure directly.

Can't believe I forgot but time in process another big lever. Many companies have made improvements to make hiring processes faster and more efficient, devs expect to spend less time than previously (although still quite a bit for a place they value highly).
