People analytics is a fascinating problem and I think it's high time someone tried to introduce concrete data to it. Several companies are tackling it in their own ways. At http://InterviewKickstart.com , for example, we&#x2

This is true for smaller companies, that hire for targeted roles, take the time to write good job descriptions and may even think a bit about what they are doing, because every person they hire makes or breaks the company. The moment a comp

At InterviewKickstart.com, we train candidates on various interviewing styles. We believe, that a whiteboard is here to stay for some time, however much we hate it. Why? 1. Coding is perceived to be a commoditized skill, but engineering is

Many companies in the Valley give $10K referral bonuses, for technical, design and product roles. It's cheap for them to offer that, compared to paying 20% of first-year's salaries to external recruiting agencies. It's less f

People have talked about alternative assets for a while. Realize that most such investments, at the end of the day, depend on the underlying economy. That's why they haven't fared considerably better than usual index investment.
