It's literally an email marketing company. Email is an og social media. They are posting their listing on hn, a forum, another og social media. I just dont get this mentality that treats Facebook/twitter as a different class of technology than email, rss, reddit, irc, and AIM/MSN/ICQ. Their difference is in degree not kind. Facebook is email/aim+wordpress/blogger. It's rss with a type of sharing+popularity-detector.
The counter argument being, they arent filtering by people who dont use social media, as much as conducting a social experiment asking people TO quit social media if they are hired. I think its well within their right to build a culture of people with a mindset, and filter for people who live the message they are trying to propagate and/or are willing to forego "social media" as a participant in an exercise.

- threatofrain 7y agoA lot of people don't use email as social media anymore, though, but rather mostly one-way communication with big entities like your bank, many of which aren't expected to reply back. As this is a marketing company, they may also have the distinction that social media marketing generally involves having people socially convince you that something is good; but email is not a good forum for that.
