When you apply for jobs, your work experience, soft and hard skills are essential to show potential. For Mismo, it is crucial to evaluate your experience and get to know your technical and social skills.

The CV’s are usually the very first impression that an employer gets of a candidate.  The average hiring process is 42 days long, according to the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM.) One of the reasons why recruitment processes last too long is that recruiters want to verify too many skills, but thanks to the Mismo platform, we can shortcut our best candidates through the 3D resume application.

Experience: The first dimension – Showcase your experience

This is the traditional part of the resume, where the candidates can present their skills, work history and experience. The resume needs to make the candidate stand out from the crowd and showcase the years of experience is vital.

Relevant elements for the resume are the descriptions of past jobs, volunteer work, projects, and educational qualifications. It should be clear and concise yet descriptive. It’s also important to structure your resume strategically, you showcase the qualifications that are most relevant to the job you’re seeking.

Soft skills: The second dimension – Video to demonstrate communication skills 

The candidates can display their personalities and demonstrate their creativity, passion, and drive through a video. It could also make them stand out in the competitive application process. It’s hard to showcase your personality just in a written CV. Instead, the video lets you make a better impact. In this part, the candidate can physically demonstrate skills such as public speaking and communication. The reviewer will read the body language and have a more accurate image of the candidates to evaluate if they fit the role appropriately. Each position has its own personality and like in every relationship, we need to make sure we are making the perfect match.

The video also adds credibility to the profile because it makes the skills more personal. It will also show its full potential, and this is a way to engage with the recruiter. Being able to see enthusiasm and most importantly, your personality, is very important for any role.

Hard skills: The third dimension – Tech skills assessment 

Skill testing gives Mismo a competitive advantage. Candidates hired on merit rather than the background tend to stay longer and perform better over the long term. We use these assessments to filter out unqualified candidates early in the recruiting process and to improve hiring outcomes by identifying developers who can demonstrate that they have the skills required for the position.

Our skills tests ask a variety of questions in different formats to see how candidates perform on-the-job tasks. The questions are specifically related to the responsibilities of each position. This is a way to visualize the acquired knowledge, skills, and experience. In Mismo, the candidate can select the test that best fits their abilities to show their best.

A document is not enough to highlight your personality, explain what you’re passionate about, why you’re perfect for a position, or tell relevant anecdotes or experiences. By applying only with your resume, you’re missing out the opportunity to introduce the real “you” to our recruiters. That’s why at Mismo, we offer a 3D platform application where we get to know the candidates more closely and in a more profound way to make the best match!

This dream began 11 years ago when its founders, husband and wife – Jinal Jhaveri and Forum Desai, both Computer Engineers, decided to give up their comfortable jobs in the Silicon Valley and start their own venture. It was a bold and risky move, but from their early days, they had excellent results. In 2012 they opened their first US offices in the middle of the action in downtown San Francisco. The next year, they opened the Costa Rica office just across the street from the University of Costa Rica.

In the last 11 years, Mismo has worked remotely in 6 different countries. One of the most significant challenges in companies and remote work is creating an optimal and positive culture. However, this is not the case with Mismo. Since the beginning, it has strived to create an optimal work environment where trust, dialogue, and teamwork are present. Mismo has understood the value of its collaborators, clients, and community, which is why it is a family for many.

As Mismo grows every day; we want our people to grow with the company and the culture sustainably. We care about providing the best quality to our clients, but we need the best collaborators for this. In Mismo, we hire the highest quality talent, and we take care of retaining it; we are interested in them, their well-being, comfort, and happiness.

Such is the case of Pilar Del Valle, who has had the opportunity to work and study simultaneously. She appreciates that Mismo motivates and allows people to continue growing both professionally and personally. Right now, we are very proud because she is about to graduate from her master’s very soon.

Also, Mismo’s Senior Software Engineers Pablo and Christian appreciate the job stability that they found with Mismo over the years. They are delighted and proud to have the pleasure of working with clients and projects of great relevance and high quality. It has allowed them to learn from the latest in the technology industry.

Likewise, Fernanda Coto highlights that she has found the opportunity to practice all her leadership skills since she has directed projects on different occasions. By working with diverse clients, she has also improved her communication skills.

Today, it is a large family of 45 employees, with a presence in 6 countries and 100% growth of its team in the last year. They currently work passionately with more than 25 loyal clients.

For these and many other reasons, today, at Mismo we raise our glasses and toast for yesterday, for today, and for everything that comes, this is just the beginning. It is the bonds, trust, commitments, and people who have made it work, helped it grow, and, through these relationships, we are celebrating, continue to support it flourish for years to come.
