Remix.com sells transportation software to local municipalities. I believe they have a ton of traction worldwide at this point.

The Breakout List seems to be a better list of "hot startups." It's still VC heavy, but there are a few other companies listed that aren't your traditional VC-backed startup. The c…

I'd look into Berlin and Hamburg. Berlin is changing rapidly with a lot of opportunity and Hamburg is already quite wealthy with a ton of resources available to it.

I'm not the biggest fan of Linkedin, but this strikes me as quite cynical. I've been recruiting internally for a number of good startups and I've used salary transparency to advoca…

I don't mind giving a range, but that results in a tricky situation that isn't always easy to handle. If you give a range of let's say $130k-$150k for a role, candidates' expectati…

Exactly. Good companies understand the value of great employees and I've found these tactics are for companies that penny-pinch and can't/won't budge. No better way to lose out on …

I've been recruiting for a few years now, and I've always hated asking how much someone is making currently. Have always found it better to ask "what are your compensation expectat…

I'm a heavy Lyft user, and I only tip when I have a particularly impressive ride (i.e. Driver goes above and beyond to be accommodating or I had a very insightful conversation). Th…

I head up recruiting at the company I work for. The biggest reason I ask this is that I'm worried a candidate's expectations are outside of what our budget is. There really is no o…

Entelo - San Francisco (SOMA), CA - Full-time - http://www.entelo.com/ ; we're unfortunately are not hiring remote or part-time at the moment as we're committed to building a stron…

This seems like a complete copy of Sprig to be honest. The food is only part of the battle though- will they be able to tackle the actual backend logistics? We'll have to wait and …

Those statements don't necessarily contradict each other. For example, there are a lot of junior sales development (or business development) reps that have these artificial ceiling…

That's a curious statement. I could easily say the only reason Uber had a chance to steamroll anyone was because they've been injected with billions in venture funding...

The problem as with reducing the number of games for any sport always comes down to money. Reducing a season by 62 games for each team is a huge loss in revenues which owners will …

If you're a startup selling to the enterprise, I would highly encourage billing upfront. Collecting cash upfront has huge ramifications for cash flow and how fast you can grow the …

Likewise with us. Hypocritical to claim that Linkedin takes anti-competitive practices when Hired.com employs similar tactics. At least Linkedin still allows competitors to have Li…

Yup, we saw this coming years ago, and have taken a number of steps to move away from them and leverage other networks more (Github, Twitter, Crunchbase, AngelList, etc.). If you'r…

Two of our best engineers came from Hacker News. I'd be more than happy to chat if you're looking. Drop me a note at vivek@entelo.com!
