Are all submissions moderated manually? Pointless observation: This is one of the few times I think a .io domain would have worked better.

Regardless of how current your company/product may be, there's a clear reason why you don't see any other companies advertising roles on the front page. These posts should be restricted to the monthly Who's Hiring thread.

I don't think people realise how effective meetups are for hiring. If you sponsor/speak at the right event, it's near impossible not to meet some decent candidates.

There's no question that London is suffering from a funding gap however some of the excerpts seem incredibly difficult to quantify: They are more motivated by building a great product than by changing the world compared to SV entrepreneurs

Prior to accepting the role I'm currently in I had a prerequisite that I get to finish at 4.30PM on the button every day without fear of reprisal as it enables me to spend at least an hour with my son every evening before he goes to sleep.

Some poor PI is going to freak out when he checks his 'recently viewed your profile' stats.

I've read a ton of blogs and articles on the issue and the one consistent trend I've noticed is that it's a significantly more noticeable problem in the US by comparison to the UK. I'm certainly not denying that sexism doesn't exist in the

A lot of (larger) companies use tools like Resumator which require a pdf/doc CV in order to upload an applicants details. Personally I don't mind referring to linkedin for a candidates background provided they have a github/bitbucket accoun

Unfortunately this tends to be the case more often than not. I don't think it's out of fear of litigation, I think it's simply laziness and pointless HR process.

Well we're UK based and the fear of litigation is certainly a lot smaller. Obviously there is always a concern that a candidate will have a significantly negative reaction to a rejection but I spend a lot of time with all candidates who go

Categorically. If the applicant has taken the effort to come and interview with us and we decide not to proceed then as a rule I will always give full and frank feedback as to why we came to our decision. Sometimes the feedback is hard to s

In-house recruiters or hiring managers, except perhaps the most inexperienced or unprofessional, will not press a candidate to explain a decision to decline an offer. I couldn't possibly disagree more. If I have invested time into a poten

6-12 months is plenty of time for a talented dev to have a big impact but I'd much rather hire them on a contract basis than a permanent basis in that circumstance. Regardless of how adept a company is at retaining their best talent, you wi

Your last point is a great litmus test. Startups are stressful and emotional by nature, not to mention the ridiculous time commitment required. Any company that fails to empathise with that is a company worth avoiding.

Make company blog contributions voluntary with the caveat that the content must be relevant to the company or industry. Everything else goes in their personal blog.

I'm sure it will. Given the price point it's obviously not aimed at the early adopters but still looks terrible imo.

The problem is they want a diverse workforce. I'm sure the vast majority of companies want the exact same thing but there comes a point where you simply have to accept that we work in a significantly male dominated industry and to get to

I'm not sure I get it. The author asked his only female employee and his wife for feedback and the feedback was categorically negative yet he decided to proceed regardless? I appreciate the intention but I don't think an 'honest' blog post
