Hiring

Make a good company profile on Wellfound and you will start getting applicants within 24 hours. For popular roles like Software Engineer Intern, you can get 50+ applicants within 24 hours.

Managing

  • Have a daily standup.
  • Use a product management app like Linear, Jira, or Trello. Personally, I am using Linear for my teams and for my personal life too.
