I find it quite ironic that the Design Museum website is horrifically ugly.

Congrats. One suggestion: Post an example of how a 'status' looks amongst a feed of other pics on instagram.

I'm curious how this actually works. If I put in the name of a company and a specific employee, how do you go about getting the answer to my question?

You don't. On the 1st of every month, that account posts a Who's Hiring thread. You comment in that thread with the details of your vacancy and how to apply.

Yet every single day hundreds of UK companies flout the law.

I'm starting to wonder if you're actually being serious. The vast majority of employers (at least the better ones) like to review developers github/bitbucket repo's in advance. Everything in there is open-source. Your master and servants ac

You're attacking my point without attempting to correct it. you can legally discriminate if there are objective reasons for doing so There is a ridiculous breadth of methods to legally discriminate. Equally, there are a large number of wa

It makes a bold assertion and does nothing whatsoever to back it up. I posted direct citation in the original post. ACAS is an official organisation assigned to preventing and resolving employment disputes in the UK. Their take on the mat

Fair point. We're releasing a bunch of new features in the next few weeks and 'job spec guidelines' are one that we're working on. A reference point for people posting new roles. I'm sure there's more we can do so I'll give it some thought.

The ACAS report makes good reading. I'll dig out some case examples. http://www.acas.org.uk/media/pdf/i/1/Age-and-the-Workplace-a... Excerpt: Avoid references, however oblique, to age in both the job description and the person specificat

More appropriate example: Developer A - Works for BigCorporate as a ruby dev, left university 5 years ago Developer B - Works for the same BigCorporate as a ruby dev, left university 4 years ago If BigCorporate decided to advertise a new ru

I have to disagree. Our job board only hosts direct employer vacancies. We don't allow any recruitment agency listings and yet most of the jobs posted on our board have that stipulation in the spec so it's certainly not the fault of agency

it isn't discriminating directly or indirectly against age... That's just it, it clearly discriminates against junior applicants who may have only a year or two of professional experience as a direct result of their age.

So in other words it doesn't look like it is unlawful to ask for X years of experience as long as it is a "genuine requirement of the job". That's correct. The issue is that it is incredibly difficult to justify legally and the UK employm

You're absolutely right. We don't tell employers how to word their adverts but we do try and provide guidance. The majority of roles on our site (and pretty much every other IT job board in the UK) have that stipulation somewhere in the job

Things are starting to shift. More and more employers are looking to see code repo's prior to even looking at your CV in detail. On our blog we do a series of interviews called Hacker Jobs Meets... where we pose ten questions to CTO's, Tech

The UK is no stranger to similar, ridiculous situations. Remember the BritRuby fiasco? https://gist.github.com/seanhandley/4106776

A couple of years ago a London based start-up came to me asking for help finding a Cappuccino/Objective J developer. I pride myself at being able to find needles in haystacks but finding a dedicated Cappuccino dev in London was proving impo

Unfortunately no. Due to his recent significant fame increase, he's in high demand and his schedule clashes with this months event. I have it on good authority that he is definitely returning next month. Until then, you're stuck with my ang

Not usually connected to the sponsors although one of the speakers is due to popular request. The remaining speakers will be announced very shortly.

Technically it's limited to 400 and we usually reach that figure however we have 'emergency capacity' for an additional 200 so I promise you won't have any issues getting in. Drop me an email (info in my profile) and I'll give you my mobile

If necessary you can pay in cash on the night but obviously we'd prefer if folk paid via meetup as we won't be carrying change or taking many on the spot payments.
