Earlier quoted context omitted.

Neither contacting you at "jaredf at scribd.com" or applying directly gets me any response , even refusal , i think you should at least respond back to people applying .

I've had this issue emailing Jared as well. It's rather unfortunate.

Also had this issue when applying to a Scribd internship

Just check out our latest offering, OnMetal [1], which is a combination of open s…

I'm glad to see Rackspace finally having a public contact for positions. Back when I was actively seeking work I thought the problems being solved at Rackspace were were interesting, but I had to apply through that garbage HR system where you get ignored for months on end (ICIMS).

Not really sure why I'm posting this exactly aside from saying, to other companies, just like this instance: please actually have someone you can talk to! If your entire public interface is the ICIMS resume farm I won't even bother with you anymore and I'm not alone in this.

The example you provide on the page: "discover what you should name your kid if you want them to be a US senator" are you actually going to show causal estimates? Names are very endogenous. If you are looking at the likelihood of being a US senator conditioning on someones name, this is very different from the causal effect of the name.
