How Are Companies in Silicon Valley Hiring?

August 6, 2007 by Ben Yoskovitz

The job market is hot. This is especially true in Silicon Valley where every company – big and small – is looking to hire top talent.

How do they do it?

Fred Ngo, co-Founder of Standout Jobs acted as roving reporter at the TechCrunch 9 Party asking people for their best hiring stories and biggest challenges in recruiting top talent.

The results are quite interesting…

My favorite stories come from Emmett Shear at Justin.tv and Dick Hardt, Founder of Sxip.
