Modest yes but also completely unnecessary. If the CEO hasn't spent one-on-one time with the applicant then they shouldn't be the one holding the final decision.

>The CEO must be personally involved in the first 150 hires. Is this a typo? Should it have read 'first 15 hires' because 'first 150' is absolute nonsense.

The CDN does not have all sizes of images. We use the ondemand resizer+cache because we may modify our website design in the future and need a new image size. Serving the exact image size makes our pages faster to render and saves bandwidth

When the site was originally designed, there were only 4 or 5 sizes, one for the feed, one for the product page, one for related products, one for thumbnails, etc. As the design changed, extra sizes got added to the image processing, and as

Whilst entirely agree with Gregg's approach, I wouldn't use his response rates as a metric to measure your own response rates. Cold approaches like this tend to have significantly higher response rates when you are a company like

The reason full-time internal recruiters tend to operate very differently to external recruiters is primarily because the incentive is entirely different. Full-time internal recruiters are rarely financially incentivised per hire or to hit

Assuming absolutely identical skills, experience, education, etc, then you are legally entitled to apply positive action in favouring a woman. Attempting to defend that position in a UK employment tribunal however, would be near impossibl

I'm not debating whether it's right or wrong. I'm simply pointing out the fact that his approach, even by your suggested guidelines, is still very much illegal in the UK. Legality to one side, I would be interested in hearing

The first line of this response is the absolute truth. I work for a startup, one that is categorically on track for significant success. I'm not a programmer, designer or product person so lets apply your questions to my situation...

Two reasons you shouldn't cite James' post as an argument: 1. He blocks HN traffic (hence the idiotic octopus gif) 2. His post is incredibly inaccurate and simply wrong on so many levels

A lot of people are criticising the condensed nature, lack of whitespace, etc. A significant part of my job is to review CV's for a living and if I received a CV/Resume in this format, I'd be quite pleased as all the relevant
