Introducing the SwiftLee Talent Collective!

Whether you're a company looking for talent or an engineer open to new opportunities: the SwiftLee Talent Collectives bring you together.

When I launched SwiftLee Jobs a year ago, I couldn't foresee the challenges it would have. While the platform worked fine, I could not reach the right companies or get them on board. It resulted in an almost empty job board and reasons for me to improve.

Two months ago, I was invited by the team behind Pallet to start my talent collective. They'll provide me with spotlight companies, and I can also curate talent!

During the soft launch, I onboarded several companies and talent. Questions like "how does this differ from LinkedIn" and "Can I stay anonymous" are all answered in this week's article.

Essential for you to know is that I curate both sides. My goal is to ensure that people from my community connect to opportunities that matter to them, which means curating the marketplace on both sides. That also means you must increase your chances of getting approved as a talent.

I'm super excited to connect you with future engineers or career opportunities.

Enjoy this week's SwiftLee Weekly!

THIS WEEK'S BLOG POST
Announcing the SwiftLee Talent Collective: a curated list of talents that get the opportunity to connect with a curated list of companies. I'll be curating from both sides, ensuring only companies that hire for Swift-related positions get access to the pool of talents. For you as a talent, there are no obligations; you can stay anonymous and manage expectations like a minimum salary you're looking for to lower the number of unrelated messages you'll get. Companies reach out to you but won't be able to continue any conversations before you decide to reply.

CURATED FROM THE COMMUNITY

SWIFT
Soroush decided to revisit existing code and optimize it using Primary Associated Types in Swift 5.7. The result is more readable and reusable code.
Khoa's friendly reminder about the ListFormatter API that's been available since iOS 13. I completely forgot about it!
While many articles cover SwiftUI content, I’m glad to see this article by Artur Gruchała covering UIKit code related to UICollectionViews. Horizontal scroll views inside vertical scroll views were a pain to maintain but are no longer hard to build using the latest APIs.
I always enjoy these deep dives by Ole Begemann. This time, he researched why the await keyword becomes required when stepping outside the default SwiftUI View body parameter.
I did not know this! We use a submodule to load common CI and SDK code, for which we might want to explore integrating it directly into SPM, as Marco Eidinger ‍ describes in this article.
Be warned if you’re distributing Mac apps using Xcode 14 or 14.0.1. Ole Begemann points out concurrency bugs due to invalid generated code by the Swift 5.7 compiler.

OPTIMIZING
Spending time responding to support and giving them essential information to reply to users can be time-consuming. You can increase both support and engineering productivity by optimizing this pipeline.
