A Research-driven Recruitment Story
[It] was initially frustrating to not be able to tell you things about who I am and what Iβve done. But itβs great that itβs a level playing field. By the final interview I was liking the process so much that I was reluctant to share my CV and de-anonymize myself. Β Successful Careers applicantβ¦

We Hire the Best, Just Like Everyone Else
One of the most common pieces of advice you'll get as a startup is this: Only hire the best. The quality of the people that work at your company will be one of the biggest factors in your success β or failure. I've heard this advice over and over and over at startup events, toβ¦

One of my favourite hosting companies is recruiting using anonymous online interviews, in an effort to combat industry sexism
...
So, in May 2015, we made the huge decision to start an anonymous recruitment process. The biggest change compared to tradition recuiting is this β your first two interviews are truly anonymous. We conduct them over instant messaging and run our skills tests remotely too.
You wonβt even have to give your real name or a β¦ -
Club Lounge at Gatwick airport
On the way out to the French Alps for a week of skiing, and we had enough air miles to upgrade to business class on the way out, so I'm sat in the lounge enjoying complimentary gin & tonic and croissants. 10 in the morning, and I'm already buzzed: after a long and hectic β¦ -

Things That Have Been Happening
I've had a couple of moderately hectic days, and somehow haven't found time to tell you all about them yet. Let's see what I can remember:
The Tale Of Troma Night 50
Troma Night 50 was a success: a chance to re-watch some of the films that made Troma Night's 1 and 2 so... bizarre. And it β¦ -
Second Place
I came second in the Cymru Prosper Wales "Enterprising Student" competition, which earned me Β£100, this morning. Pretty much made my late night and early morning worthwhile. Now I'm back at the office. Needed to come in this afternoon to deploy a new version of a piece of software to a client.
Think I pissed Claire β¦ -
Quacks Do Echo, Thank You Very Much
At long last, I feel justified! As a long-time arguer (as much out of reason as playing devil's advocate) that a duck's quack should make an echo just like any other sound, recent research reported by the BBC demonstrates the fallacy of the widely-accepted myth!
In other news, it looks like my suggestion to Paul to β¦ -
Early
Like Kit, I woke up surprisingly early. Then decided to go back to sleep and as such will now be late for work. Ah well.
Need to get ready for a presentation I have to give at the Park Hall Hotel tomorrow as my contribution to the Cymru Prosper Wales scheme, which funds small businesses in β¦
