Employer-side DevRel hiring - writes the job posting and outcome-based scorecard, designs the interview loop and question bank across the field's formats (presentation round, take-homes, DevRel-opinion round), scores a portfolio against the six-signal rubric, designs a paid work sample instead of unpaid spec work, and builds a 30-60-90 ramp anchored on a friction log. Splits by company type and funding driver. Use when the user asks how to hire a developer advocate, write a DevRel job posting…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# DevRel Hiring

Build the four artefacts a hiring manager needs to recruit into a DevRel role with the same rigour the field's own hiring research recommends: a role scorecard and posting, a structured interview loop with question bank, a portfolio-and-work-sample evaluation, and a 30-60-90 ramp plan.

DevRel has no standard job description or career ladder (Chris Aniszczyk, CNCF CTO), and its own hiring literature documents two named failure patterns in postings written without this discipline - see Reading the answers. That absence is the reason to build these four artefacts deliberately rather than adapt a generic engineering or marketing hiring template.

Out of scope, hand off instead:

- **Where DevRel reports and how the team is shaped** - samber/developer-relations-skills@devrel-team-structure decides the org before this skill recruits into it.
- **Coaching the candidate** - samber/developer-relations-skills@devrel-career is the mirror image of this skill, built for the person being evaluated.

If the user is job-hunting rather than hiring ("how do I prep for a DevRel interview", "is this posting worth applying to"), say so in one line and point them at devrel-career.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/developer-relations-skills/devrel-hiring@sha256:346ce2685db8c839

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
