The point is that right now people don't look at anything other than the fact that you went to Yale. If you didn't go to a good school, it's very hard to get noticed in today's job market. There's something fundamentally wrong with that giv

Elli from HireArt here. I think your comment is really interesting and important to take note of. It's a bit funny in my particular case because I actually worked for University of Phoenix for a few years which is how I got the idea for Hir

Hey, Elli from HireArt here. We work only with non-technical jobs like marketing, biz dev, sales, etc (we think technical jobs are quite different). And then we have two different types of challenges: 1) Challenges that individual employers

Hey, this is Elli (Co-Founder). Awesome feedback -- really appreciate it. I think you're totally right that we should give you a heads up of what's going to happen before you start. Most people have never done this type of thing before. Qui

I am productive at home, but I'm less happy. I need people to be happy and at home, I just have myself (and my cat). At work, i have my colleagues who energize me, distract me, make me laugh, teach me new things. The biggest reason I don't

We do tons of hiring on behalf of other companies. Everyone seems to love the word "Jack-of-all-trades." When we post jobs with this title we get lots more applications than for other titles such as Operations Associate. Weird but true.

In an early-stage start-up environment putting in grind hours is often necessary. Right now I'm the sales person, account manager, blog writer, PR person, admin, CFO and content person. Each of these requires time to just put in the basic w

Hmm, as a recruiter who looks at hundreds of resumes a day, this kind of non-standard resume really annoys me. Just tell me who you are and what you do. Do so clearly and succinctly.

Seems like a great idea. I recommend making the "what do you want to do" a bit more explicit (e.g., more multiple choice, asking me to give examples of jobs I'd leave my current position for, etc). When I completed this, I wasn't sure how y

dwight is freaking awesome (in person). Truthfully I think there is so much cool drama they could've shown: - co founder fights (bring it on!) - running out of money stress - idea not working out drama - users getting pissed off angst - a l

Hey Thanks for posting an honest and heartfelt post. At the end of the day, there is no right answer. If you feel inspired by an idea/concept then you should absolutely pivot and use the resources you have to build a new thing. You might be

I was buying tickets on StubHub the other day and was pleasantly surprised that they have an option to "split the cost" with someone. Awesome because buying tickets always ends up being such a risky business -- if your friend doesn't show u

I think these questions are awesome. As someone who lost one co-founder early on (there were three of us and one person quit right after YC), I wish we'd talked about some of this stuff more. Having said that, I actually think in reality t

Hey, thanks for the comment. Makes sense and we made changes to the survey to address this. We're mostly focused on non-technical hires because that's what we primarily help companies recruit for (e.g., scaling marketing, biz dev, customer

I was part of the YC batch at 66 and felt all the partners knew a lot about our start-up and could speak to us really easily, asked for updates, etc. Felt like a small group even though it was large.
