Swiss startups and SMEs are gaining importance in tech, I would say. So have a look at Switzerland and/or ping me. I am a founder of a tech recruitment agency in Zurich and we look for tech talent all over Europe who want to join Swiss

This could lead to users of the plugin being banned. Have seen this happening to recruiters who were using some extensions extensively and then somehow Linkedin decided to lock them out, which is quite a bad thing to happen to a recruiter.

Great project! This will be used by recruiters like myself. Only today I had to send an ugly Linkedin-PDF resume because an applicant didn't have anything else. I would have used ceev.io, if I knew about it before! Let me ask, aren&#x2

To be honest, Zug as "crypto-valley" is more a thing they show to foreigners. Most crypto-events and meetups happen in Zurich. Also fresh startups rather open an office in Zurich other than Zug to have access to talent from ETH an

This is my educated guess why they are not doing this. 100 USD for a company is like, nothing but you have to get it approved and so on. Also many companies live in the illusion people are supposed to be excited to work for them or even wor

I run coderfit.com, we match programmers with tech jobs in Zurich, Munich and NYC. Since a long time I try to educate companies to at least pay a symbolic sum to the engineer, like 10-20 USD/hour. The reason companies don't do thi

Right now I top up 10USD worth of Bitcoin with bitrefill.com. I pay ZERO fees and it is instant (due to Segwit and the Lightning network).

I think, having kids in Switzerland is only expensive if they are 2-3 years old because "Kindergrippe" is not public like in Germany. Kindergarten and up is public and free. It's true there are not many embedded jobs, but I k

I know what you mean but the HR "performance" is often a weak proxy for measuring the engineering performance of an institution. The disconnect increases with the size of the institution.

I am a tech recruiter and former programmer located in Zurich. Some companies treat applicants like shit nowadays. Especially the "startups" and younger ones. The best company I work with is 30 years on the market and they treat a

But if I only care about coding capability I might want to hire the one who programs 16 hours a day and not just 8 hours a day. We live in a free market and I can optimize for such parameters, if I want. Obviously, if I really take this as

Yes. And good commit messages are better than (stale) code comments.

My own experience as tech recruiter, who looks at dozens of resumes a day, is that I only take some minutes to review your publicly available code. If I see commented code, rough violation of coding standards etc., that is bad and I will as
