👋 Hi, I’m Dheeraj — Founder | Builder | Hiring Optimist
🚀 What I’m Building
I’m creating a remote hiring platform for IT startups to find developers who truly align with their mission — not just their tech stack.

Think:
✅ Culture-fit > Resume
✅ Shared vision > Transaction
✅ Purpose-driven matches > Just skills

🔍 Why This Matters
🎓 It started in 2013...
At my first campus interview, I saw hundreds of students chasing jobs they didn’t understand — driven by fear, not clarity.
That’s when I asked:

“How can you choose a job if you don’t even know what it’s about?”

Later that year, I lost my father in a car accident. I was 19.
That grief made me fearless. I promised myself to build something that helped others.

💼 17 Jobs Later...
I worked at 17 companies — searching for a team I aligned with.
I never found it. So in 2019, I started my own agency with my wife.
We even built a mud-walled, nature-filled office.

Clients came — Canva, SmartData, IIT Roorkee — but I saw the same old hiring problems:

Resume obsession

No curiosity

Misaligned teams

💡 The Turning Point
In 2023, I tried to solve it. Built an internal team. It failed.
Why? They weren’t aligned with the mission.

“You can’t build culture without the right people.”

I started studying hiring deeply — from books to behavioral psychology — and built a system focused on:
✅ Curiosity
✅ Culture-fit
✅ Honest work

It worked.

🛠️ Now, I'm building…
A remote staffing platform where:

Startups find developers aligned in purpose & values

Developers find work that fits their mindset

Both sides are matched based on real compatibility, not just keywords

✨ Features: culture-fit filters, real feedback, purpose-based profiles, and a trust-driven reputation score.

🙏 What I Need
I’m in the ideation stage, and learning from founders like you.
If you’ve ever struggled to build a team that cares — let’s connect.

Thanks for reading 🙏
Let’s build something better than job portals — something with heart.

🔥 The HR Meetup That Changed How I Think About Hiring

Last week, I attended an HR meetup in Indore with 50–60 HRs — and the insights shared by the panelists were powerful.

Special thanks to Siddharth Sharma for inviting me.

A big thank you to
 👉 Swapnil Jain
 👉 Harmeet Chhabrra,
 👉 Suyesh Sabnani,
 👉 Shweta Joshi, and
 👉 Sandeep Pandey

 for sharing honest, eye-opening truths about today’s talent mindset, culture, curiosity, uniqueness, and value creation.

I’ve compiled all the key lessons, mindset shifts, and the product ideas this meetup sparked for Coderfarm in my latest newsletter.

 And as a small gesture…
 👉 All HRs & company owners who attended the meetup will get their first hire on Coderfarm completely free.

If you’re in HR, hiring, or managing teams — this edition is worth reading.

#HRMeetup #HiringInsights #Recruitment #CultureFit #FutureOfWork #HRCommunity #TalentAcquisition #IndoreEvents #StartupLife

Talks about #nodejs, #reactjs, #leadership, #remotedevelopers, and #extremeprogramming

I help you hire developers who match your tech stack, values & working style — so they perform better, stay longer & feel like part of the team from day one.

Day 1 of our 90-Day Challenge is in the books. We're building a new platform to connect clients, agencies, and freelancers, and we're documenting the entire process.

Today's focus: The landing page (now 90% complete in We-web flow) and defining the UI for our three distinct user portals.

My biggest takeaway from Day 1: Talk to your users immediately.

After just a few interviews, I realized our main value proposition was off. We're pivoting the headline from "Find developers who truly fit your culture" to "Find developers who are truly interested in what you are doing". It’s a small change in words but a massive shift in perspective.

Tomorrow's goal: Making the sign-up and login functional.

I'm sharing the full (and unfiltered) update in the video. What do you think of the new headline?

#BuildInPublic #StartupJourney #90DayChallenge #Wewebbflow #SaaS #UserFeedback #Founder

Sharing what I learned from the HR community this week and how it’s inspiring new features on our hiring platform.
