Helping your friends find fulfilling work...at Logos!

Did you know Logos is hiring? We have 42 open positions. (More, really -- we'd take more than one in some jobs!)

Right now the only thing holding us back is getting more great people on board: we need software developers (always!), but also sales people, marketers, etc.

We previously blogged our willingness to pay $2,000 in Logos credit for referring someone we hire as a software developer.

This actually helped us recruit a couple of people, but we need more!

We know our vast user base knows (and contains!) many talented people who could help Logos grow, and do an even better job serving you and the church.

What will it take for you to introduce us?

Should we expand the software credit to more than just programmers? Did you encourage friends to apply, but worry they never did? Should we just ask you for their names and then hunt them down ourselves with outbound recruiting? (Maybe this is a good idea for programmers, since we can check most of them out online and then approach them with a better understanding of their skills before the first conversation.)

I would really appreciate your thoughts before we launch our next big recruiting push.

Do you know awesome people? Software developers?

Did you encourage awesome people to apply with us before?

If not, why? Would a bigger incentive help?

Did they actually apply? If not, why? Would it be easier to just get their name from you?

Are the people you know just so great you're reluctant to let us hire them away from your church / community / immediate circle? If so, do you have a price? What is it?

Help us help you! Send us your smartest, hardest working, most productive friends! We'll put them to work building better Bible tools!

42 new positions is exciting indeed. The stronger Logos becomes the better off we all are.

Could you please clarify if all of these positions are for work within the US? I would imagine they are but I just wanted to be sure.

As I recall, Logos isn't interested in remote workers, right? I have a few friends I could mention this too, but as far as I know they're each fairly tied down to a particular location.

Are there any campuses besides Bellingham?

I'd like to politely suggest that you shouldn't make presumptions about people's willingness to move. Let them decide! Over the years I've talked to many people who "couldn't possibly move", and then -- after a visit to gloriously beautiful Bellingham, Washington, where incredibly fulfilling work with great people is available -- return home only to pack their bags and say goodbye. :-)

Right now we're hiring mostly in Bellingham, and we have a significant facility in Tempe, Arizona (Phoenix area) that presently only has software developers, but may host other departments in the future.

(And some of our jobs -- field sales -- are specifically remote positions.)

Remote positions would be particularly appealing to me. As a Seminary student in Wake Forest NC, I'm rather tied down for the next few years.

Fixed it for you. [:D]

Most of my growing up years were in Washington State (with summers in Alabama). I always thought it funny that "Californians" would visit Puget Sound in the summer and make the move, to complain in March… but I loved the drizzle and grey skies. I LOVE and MISS my "home state." I wish there were something I could contribute more to Logos. [:)]

Well Bob, you were right and I am absolutely kicking myself now. The friend I had in mind just took a job at Logos, and I had totally forgotten to mention this to him! Lesson learned, I suppose.
