Software startups develop products under extreme conditions of uncertainty. Therefore, in this study, we perform an interview study through semi-structured interviews with 11 employers of software startups in a developing country (Bangladesh). We find out about employers’ experiences and practices while hiring CS graduates. Our findings reveal several aspects of the hiring process such as showing bias toward candidates of particular institutions and giving more priority to technical skills rather than communication skills. We uncover that employers give additional effort to hire suitable candidates impeding their productivity. Further, we elaborate on notable similarities and differences in trends in the hiring process by comparing our findings with existing literature.
