Give(a)Go: Hiring Hackathon
We flipped hiring.
Startups pitch to recruit you.
Forget CVs and long applications.
Show what you can build in a day
Land interviews on the spot! + cash prizes (not just credits)!
On 7th March, the founders and senior engineers from Otel, Kota and Lette are spending the full day with builders like you.
These aren’t recruiters with clipboards. These are the people who decide who gets hired, what gets built next, and how the company moves.
THOUSANDS of euros in cash prizes $$$
A fast track straight to the founders and decision makers. No application. No recruiter screen. No three-month loop.
Building with some of the best in the city
This is what hiring should look like.
