Hiring A Boss

by Charl Dreyer on June 25, 2009

Managing Agile has just launched Agile.jobs, which is a free service to you (and your new boss). Agile.jobs is a place where you can create job offers to prospective employers. And after we put you in contact with them, you can interiew your new boss and company to see if they are an ideal fit for you.

It probably sounds a bit odd, I know, but once you get your head around this, it’ll make perfect sense. The chances of you finding your ideal position the next time you’re in the job market are statistically very slim.

One reason is that recruitment agencies operate in substantially the same way as they always have despite the digital revolution. And employers are increasingly dissatisfied with their low value-add. Someone could offer employers this service cheaper, faster, and more effectively than agencies. That someone could be you.

Create a job offer now. Go ahead! Make your next boss\' day.

Because this information is about you finding the right boss, its all important and required.

Your Screen Name (Only this name will appear on our site)

Your Real Name (We won\'t disclose this to anyone)

Your Email (So we can contact you)

What\'s your background? (In brief, about 100 words)

Any online profiles your new boss can check? (Like LinkedIn or Google Profiles, for example)

What is your Agile superpower? (Like prioritizing backlogs, for example)

Which Agile roles have you filled? (Like Product Owner or Scrum Master, for example)

Why are you looking for a new boss? (In other words, what\'s wrong with your old one?)

In which cities/countries is your new boss located? (Where would you, or could you, work?)

What are you looking for in a new boss? (The characteristics of a boss you most admire)

What are you looking for in a new company? (The qualities of a company you most admire)

Should this company be using Agile already?

One more thing: Are you human?

So, what happens next?
It’s quite simple. In the next day or two you’ll see your offer appear on Agile.jobs. When someone applies to be your new boss we’ll give you their contact details, and you choose where it goes from there. Before this happens though, you may want to think of any additional questions you want to ask your prospective new boss when you interview them!

Please send us an email once you’re sorted with a new boss so we can stop bothering you with new applicatons.

That’s it. We wish you all the best.
