CTO of Workshape.io here. My co-founder Hung was painting a rather extreme picture, but the picture he does paint is a reasonable portrayal of a possible reality. Not all CTOs are good at hiring/writing an effective job description (wh

The experimental section in the first screen shot - is a new feature which is focussed on doing exactly that! The plan is that after existing team members have communicated their shapes, we can deduce what the current team is lacking and he

I found a similar solution few weeks back which is beautiful and scrolls horizontally. Believe it is vanilla JS. http://cheeaun.github.io/life/

I saw a post recently about the difference between Engineer and Developer (I think on HN). It is definitely a contentious issue for some programmers.

Oops, yea, typo there. For the sake of this analysis we have treated developer and engineer (and programmer - although a very uncommon term in our dataset) as interchangeable. It could be another interesting study to look at the differences

It is not strongest skill we are communicating, but most popular/common. The seniority is something which the user themselves provide. As for the sample size. 1373 profiles supplied job titles that fell into these buckets out of approx

Good point. This is key, as you say. Meta-heuristics have the flexibility of providing good performance on all Combinatorial Optimisation Problems. But meta-heuristics, can also be given domain knowledge. and/or be combined with a a he

We will continue to share our data set and insights. When we have more resources we will undoubtedly spend more time on analytics and infographics so that we can share back with the community on our findings. Thanks for the comment.

This is a fair point and something we are actively pursuing. Right now the radar plot represents a trade off between an effective interactive form of visual input that is also compelling and provides an easy mechanism for visual comparison

We aren't completely transfixed by job titles, this was just the blog post headline and one component of current recruitment practices we dislike. Unfortunately recruiters may not be so aware of job titles not meaning much - it is stil

Like it! We are definitely looking to roll the service out to other verticals. Designers will most likely be next considering the complimentary nature of what you guys do! Thanks for the feedback.
