Helping startups hire Flutter Devs who build and ship like Founders.

The best Flutter devs I placed this year didn’t send résumés.
They shipped proof.
→ GitHub
→ Live apps
→ Smart product calls
Résumés show history.
Startups need execution.
Still screening PDFs?
You’re missing the ones who move the needle.

One Flutter role. 1,200 applicants.
1,080 were AI junk.
The result?
→ Wasted sprints
→ Burned morale
→ Investors asking questions
The best hires didn’t apply, they shipped.
If you’re still hiring from the pile, what’s it really costing you?

Monster died. LinkedIn won’t. But inbound hiring? Already dead.
2% of inbound apps lead to interviews.
Top talent doesn’t apply.
They ship in public.
They get referred.
Still relying on inbound?
You’re behind.
Where did your last great hire come from?
July 1, 2025 at 12:02 PM
Monster and CareerBuilder just filed for bankruptcy.
Legacy doesn’t matter. Adaptation does.
What killed them?
→ Networks (LinkedIn)
→ Speed (Indeed)
→ Fit (Niche platforms)
The best hire I made last month came from a GitHub thread.
Where did yours come from?

Flutter is quietly gaining ground.

From 2023 to Q1 2025: App Store: 9% → 14% Google Play: 19% → 23%

Swift and Kotlin still lead, but Flutter’s closing the gap.

Cross-platform UX, faster shipping, smaller teams.

The shift isn’t coming. It’s here.

The real headline in Flutter’s 2025 roadmap?

Most contributors aren’t Googlers anymore.

The core team’s roadmap is just the start.

The global dev community is shaping what Flutter becomes.

This isn’t just a framework. It’s a movement.

How is mobile app development evolving?

Swift and Kotlin still dominate iOS and Android, but Flutter is steadily rising:

Google Play: 19% → 22%

App Store: Holding strong at #4

Can Flutter’s cross-platform power challenge native frameworks in the future?

Matt's Blog introducing Flock. https://buff.ly/4i1D6Ez
December 9, 2024 at 2:00 PM
It’s been six weeks since Matt Carroll launched Flock, a community-driven fork of Flutter for faster updates and collaboration.

Some see its potential; others question the need to fork.

Where do you stand?

Is it a real solution or unnecessary split?

Australia is Banning Kids from Social Media 🚨

The under-16 ban sets a global precedent. Developers must act now with secure age verification, compliance-ready designs, and innovation.

Is your app ready for a safer, more regulated digital future?

🤔 How do you handle a flood of AI-tailored resumes?

Runner H, backed by Amazon & Samsung ($220M), tailors resumes to job descriptions at scale.

The challenge? Spotting real expertise vs. AI polish.

🌟 Niche recruiters are your competitive edge.
