I'm bootstrapping a recruiting process outsourcing consultancy for internal HR and recruiting staff and want to get a start on marketing, but don't have the funds for a designer and I haven't touched anything HTML…

Just had a support call escalated to me where the resolution involved unplugging a network cable, and plugging it back in. For about two seconds I was annoyed with the help desk operator who sent me the ticket for…

I don't think anyone underestimates the value of testing candidates to separate wheat from the chaff when finding a candidate to hire into your team. This question just comes from observation and anecdote (with a…

I'm gearing up to hop back into the technical world as an analyst after a five year stint as a recruiter (don't hit me!). I've relocated twice, and placed some excellent people who thrived and moved up in their…

I know, the premise of HN is to share what we feel is interesting, valid and relevant. And yes, I know if people are upvoting it that means the community finds it interesting, valid and relevant.... even though it's…

I am a member of various job boards, mainly from when I was out of work (somewhat employed now as a consultant for Samsung). What I don't understand is that nearly all of these job boards, and plenty of other services I…

It's lazy, it's not engaging, and it gives the impression that you're an 8th grader with a one track mind to writing essays, limiting your arguing point to an either/or combination; creating the potential breeding…
