It's important to remember that the "x pages" rule of thumb is a hang-over from when we had paper resumes. Current reading behaviour is somewhat different and tends towards scanning/skipping because the breaks between pa

The author makes the mistake of thinking "MBA" == "CEO/CFO" - there are huge number of MBAs working in marketing, business development, sales, etc. all of which are skills that can be invaluable to a startup. Ironic

To quote Paul Graham: "Just as trying to think up startup ideas tends to produce bad ones, working on things that could be dismissed as "toys" often produces good ones. When something is described as a toy, that means it has

Generally at the CS graduate level most rejections are because your CV doesn't stand out from the pile. What makes your CV good ?

Generally the value in recruiters is in passive candidates and not active ones so in those cases it's unlikely that the candidate is working with a significant number of recruiters. Even in the case that a candidate works with multiple

It's nothing to do with negotiation, if you offer recruiters a lower rate than other companies you're simply not going to be their top priority. That said if you're offering recruiters 15% and you're getting candidates o

20%-25% is the norm depending on skill set, generally if you go lower than that you need to throw something else into the offer if you want to get good candidates (for example exclusivity periods, super-fast turn-arounds, recommendations,

Not in London it isn't; I've seen what a lot of startups are paying and 15% is definitely low for permie devs.

by ig1 13y ago
If you actually want to get good candidates from recruiters then 15% is low, recruiters are naturally going to send candidates to the companies that will pay them more first. At 15% you're basically going to get the dregs that other co

If you wanted geo-targeting I've had good results from Facebook, Linkedin and Plentyoffish but you need to spend time on ad optimization to make it work well. Reddit works pretty well but you can't geotarget on there. Bing gave me

Looking at their live demo it looks like you just sign-in with the linkedin auth and they use the regular LinkedIn API to enrich people information, so it's not anything the average user can't access via Linkedin anyway.

No. I have no relationship with LinkedIn other than as a user.

I agree that oauth is a better solution, but more broadly on this issue account/password sharing is pretty common in the business world because many services don't support multi-user access to accounts.

Emails should (admittedly they're often not) be treated like postcards, they're not secure. They'll go over the wire in plaintext, they'll be read in public, etc. Most businesses which actually require secure messaging w

Fair enough, assuming that Intro breaks the S/MIME support (which I'm guessing that it does) then it adds the risk that users using S/MIME can't verify the integrity of mail in the app. So that's something else that

fyi most of the major marketing automation platforms already let you do this. They're based upon a peer-to-peer exchange of lead information (i.e you identify yourself to one site and they'll sell that information to other sites i

This thread is a great example of filter-bubble thinking. There is a trade-off between security and features here, and while for some people it'll be worth it for others it won't. The majority of posters here are likely developers

That's why you're more likely to attract HN users than the sites which are trying to compete directly :) HN used to have a lot more in-depth "AskHNs" before Quora came along. Quora never tried to compete with HN, but rat
