I'm a Developer — why Bluecoders?

Bluecoders is a career support service for talented developers.

Increased outreach from employers, lack of expertise to negotiate a package, lack of time to analyze the market…

In short, a real pain. As developers, many of us eventually turn to recruiting firms to find our next job. But there too, classic recruiters struggle to grasp the real stakes and specifics of the tech world.

It was time to offer developers a quality service.

Here are three points explaining what motivated us to launch our support service focused exclusively on devs.

______________________________

1 – "The more developed my skills, the harder it is to find a job that values my experience."

The main difficulty as a developer is that the more developed our skills, the more outreach grows.

Yet we're 100% in our current job: how do we find the time to analyze all those offers? Should we limit ourselves to leads from companies that contact us?

Bluecoders today offers tailored support based on the time you want to dedicate, taking your tastes, ambitions, and expertise into account.

Note that 62% of developers who found a job with Bluecoders weren't actively searching but were simply open to support to make the right career choices.

2 - "When we talk with recruiters, they only have a very vague idea of what we do."

After turning to classic recruiting services, we're disappointed not to find real, technical counterparts with whom we'd share the same values: tech culture, positioning of our profile on the stack, lead prospects…

Bluecoders was born from this need: a team of developers, engineers, and tech enthusiasts.

In total, Bluecoders has 15 coaches who specialize in specific techs (Web: Java, Javascript, PHP, .NET, or low-level techs or those specific to other applications like Python, Ruby, C, C++, C#…).

For example, a PHP coach will have supported dozens of other PHP developers and will be able to provide the appropriate advice: salary comparisons, hiring history, trends, off-market opportunities, etc.

3 - "We didn't feel like we saved much time."

Our experience with standard recruiters gave us the impression of putting the cart before the horse:

Jobs were sold to us before they even asked what we were looking for, we had to make choices without even knowing the company names.

That's why Bluecoders chose simplicity and transparency, in 3 steps:

A first career assessment to understand the kind of offer you're targeting,

A search for matching roles via the Bluecoders network (CTOs, CEOs, Lead-Devs..)

And finally, a presentation of the most relevant offers with tailored support to help you access them.
