Applications should include basic information like work experience, references, contact information, physical abilities, and tech skills.
How does Almanac approach the hiring process and value personal interaction?
Almanac values personal interaction and intuition more than what's written on paper, so resumes are not always necessary. The founder takes time to get to know applicants through interviews and trusts their own judgment.
What are some effective ways to advertise job listings to attract a diverse pool of applicants?
Posting job listings on industry-specific job boards, popular platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed, or Monster Jobs, and spreading them to larger communities allows for wider visibility and potential applicants.

What are the different hiring options and when is each option suitable?
Hiring options include full-time employees, part-time employees, contractors, and interns. Full-time employees are ideal when a lot of help or full attention is needed, while part-time hires provide flexibility.
