Recruiters: What Makes You Reject a Remote Developer Candidate?

One of our clients recently hired 2 remote developers through Index.dev, and the experience was good in terms of speed, communication, and technical quality.

But it made me curious about companies that hire remote developers directly from talent platforms on their own.

What are the biggest red flags you check before hiring someone remotely?

Things like:
• Fake experience or AI-generated portfolios
• Poor async communication
• Weak ownership after onboarding
• Overrated coding skills
• Timezone mismatch issues

Would love to know what founders, CTOs, and hiring managers look for before making the final decision.

What should I NOT do if I want my kids nightwear brand to succeed?

I am building a kids clothing brand focused only on bedtime comfort and nightwear.

I want to understand the biggest mistakes founders make in this category so I can avoid them early.

What are the things that kill growth or trust for kidswear brands?

Would love to hear from:
• parents
• D2C founders
• kidswear brand owners
• textile people
• anyone who worked in baby or kids category

What are the biggest “do not do this” lessons in kidswear?

I came across this startup called Peekabox.

They partner with restaurants and cafes to sell extra food that would otherwise get thrown away.

You can get meals from brands like Carrefour, Costa, and Dunkin at up to 70% lower prices.

In the UAE alone, about $3.5 billion worth of food is wasted every year.

This app tries to solve both problems:

  • reduce food waste
  • make food more affordable

They already have 1,000+ partner stores and raised funding.

Sharing a quick video on how it works. Curious to know your thoughts.
