I'm trying Obsidian right now and liking what I see so far.

How do you plan to get companies posting on it and spread the word with candidates?

Just use iOS notes.

I don't think smaller companies are any better, especially growth phase.

What do you mean by "one ring to organize them all"? also, just curious why isn't it a challenge now (presumably at your current workplace)?

If you're experienced at what you do, I may be able to help and would love to hear from you. I am building an exchange for high-quality fractional work specifically for experienced folks. I already do frac. CTO consulting myself and ha

The fact that you hide it from both employers is what's wrong with it. It's unethical, even if it's not illegal, especially because you're likely doing both jobs during the same hours. It's not like you do one 8 to

I see you work at Stripe, which is probably the gold standard for the culture around capturing things in writing and having them be accessible to folks across the company. But in lesser teams (which is most), I see that even around a single

I wonder if companies would be willing to pay for a service that vets remote candidates in person in their city? Effectively the service would hire locals to meet/interview the candidate in person.

Sometimes it feels like people talk about this sync/async issue in a vacuum. But often there is a real need to get a response from the recipient in a timely manner. You can't just sit around twiddling your thumbs waiting for a res

Looks interesting. Is it popular?

Thanks for the reply. I like how you're thinking of it "start simple and evolve easily". Clarity in execution.

hey, love what you're building. Incidentally I've considered building in this same space. In spite of the crowded nature of it, I believe there is still room for new variations and evolutions of "how it's done". Kud

I'm actually suggesting something where teams work with someone for 20h/week (so part time) for say a couple of weeks and based on that make an offer. No one has to quit their job then. But to big of a behavior change for companie

fwiw, I don't know why contract-to-hire isn't a bigger thing. It's the most risk free way for both sides to test the waters.

Starting anything is easy, it's the making something that's wanted and making it work successfully and profitably that's exceedingly hard. Most don't realize this until they've been punched in the face by the real w
