DeveloperAuction Raises $2.7M for Novel Talent Marketplace

DeveloperAuction matches engineers and job openings through a process that involves curating a pool of candidates for two-week “auction” periods, requiring employers to specify an offer value before scheduling interviews, and giving cash bonuses to hired engineers on their first day. The year-old company just raised $2.7 million from investors including NEA and Sierra Ventures.
