That's how we operate technical interviews at Grubwithus. After a short phone screen and a ~2 hour test for basic competency, we invite candidates into the office to work with us on a 1 to 2-day project where both we and the candidate get t

Can the micro-apps only run on the human.io app through your UI? If so, is the benefit you guys provide the fact that you aggregate captive audiences of mobile users and allow companies/developers to filter that audience by things like inte
