   Thanks! It can be a little disappointing not making a big splash but I just hope that little post helps others in similar situations remember to keep the longer view.

   I think this is a good point and something I've thought about a little bit. My thought was most of the basic features such as scheduling and applicant management would carry over to other non-technical roles. I do need to learn a lot more

   Nice, that's an interesting idea. Couldn't really play with it since there were no opponents but I think I get the gist of it.

   Thanks staunch, that's great feedback. I think you're totally right that getting the entire process replace would be tough. I like the idea of an objective measurement score. It wouldn't be everything but could help out deciding between a

   Thanks for the feedback manish. I think there a lot of ways the process could be improved and could see this going a few different ways. I'm trying to focus on the most painful parts for developers doing the interviewing initially. I know

    Yeah, that was sort of the point of that. I wanted to scare off certain types of companies. I may end up removing it though just to clean things up a bit. The feedback I received on it was about 50/50.

    Thanks loceng, that's exactly right. I haven't applied for a single job yet but just thought I'd try something a little different this time around. I currently manage a team of software architects and I've probably conducted over 100 phone

    Also a good point. I wasn't too specific but I was thinking more someone with previous startup experience and also at least a little bit business savvy.

    Good points, thanks. I guess I was just trying to figure out what is common since this is my first time thinking about finding a co-founder or two.
