iCracked -Redwood City and San Francisco (Soma)- The worlds largest on-demand mobile buy back, repair and warranty service continues to grow exponentially. WANTED: Product Designers, Product Managers, Back End Engineers, Front End Engineers,iOS Programmers and many more! Visit https://www.icracked.com/careers

Here's what I don't understand about iCracked...I get that it's a "sell the shovels" type of business, selling phone repair tools and supplies to people who want to make some side income.

McDonalds was the first large-scale pioneer I can think of with that model (selling franchises and equipment). They also make it easy to understand locations, and standardize pricing.

However, when I submit a request on iCracked for repair, it doesn't tell me "oh go to Joe's gas station", or anything. I have to submit contact info and hope someone calls, and that's just not convenient. There's not even upfront, guaranteed cost information.

So, are there any competitors in the space that would do more of an uber-like concierge service, where for a fixed fee someone will come to me or a coffee shop near me and fix the problem, or pickup the phone, or tell me when and where to drop it off? That seems like a good growth area.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I applied for this position, completed a 2 hour programming exercise, and then was told that you do not hire remote (or at least remote outside of the US). Please modify your posting to be accurate.

My apologies for that. We do hire remote outside the US (we currently have a remote employee working from São Paulo, Brazil[1]), but in your case we realized too late in the process that the time zone difference would have been too extreme for daytime collaboration. Please accept my apologies that we did not come to this realization before sending you the programming exercise. It's too late for me to edit the parent…

What if remote workers from other time zones are happy to work hours based on a +/- 6 hour time zone from PST? It's puzzling why there would be a specific band of time zones from which candidates are permitted to already be living, instead of a specific set of hours that you state in the job ad, asking that candidates only apply if they are OK working those particular hours.
