I distinctly remember their creative hiring tactics:
They anonymously floated mysterious puzzles across the web. The solution was a domain name which had a static website yielding an email address.
If you sent a email to that address they immediately asked you if you were interested in working for them. I know, because I solved one (The lure to solve the mystery was just too tempting to resist)
- mike_d 6y agoGoogle did this in 2002(?). I remember billboards in downtown Seattle with no text or logo other than [math problem].com.
- simonebrunozzi 6y agoDid you also end up working there? Or just solved the puzzle, got the offer but refused?
- toolslive 6y agoI declared to be not interested. Just solved the puzzle to see what was behind that door.
