Handmade Cities offers a job referral program as a free [community service](/docs/contributing/funding/#free-community-services). We have a solid track record, for many years, where dozens of companies hire Handmade devs thanks to our referrals!

## For Employers

If you're a boss, hiring manager, or simply a well-connected engineer [contact us](/docs/support/contact) if you're looking to work with systems programmers who care about making quality software.

## For Engineers

Software engineers wanting to get hired by Handmade-friendly companies should [reach out](/docs/support/contact) as well. We have a priority list which works out as follows:
1. Laid-off engineers with [dependents](https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/dependents)
2. Juniors unable to find employment after graduation
3. Laid-off engineers in general
4. Everyone else

Do not be discouraged if you're bottom of the list. We're not a charity. We value competence and technical excellence above all else, so we'll take your resume seriously if you show us what you're made of.
