Well, we just released our own ATS add on to our HR package (I won't mention the link here in case it is considered self promotion spam, but it is in my bio). When setting pricing for our ATS, our research showed that most systems with any level of sophistication was around $8 per employee per month, which is incidentally what our pricing is. So a small company with 10 employees can use it for $80/mo, but a larger on…

that's a decent pricing. Which one is your ATS: hrpartner ? Because I didnt understand that it had an ATS. P.S. prepend "shameless plug" to your shameless plug. But do show us your stuff. All the early startups got their customers on HN ;)

Haha - yes, it is (here goes - shameless plug) - http://www.hrpartner.io

ATS is a brand new module we just released in the past month or so, and is getting good traction to date. There are a lot of standalone ATS systems out there, but our customers (and potential customers) were wanting an all in one integrated solution, so we built it.

Feel free to ping me directly if you have any questions - devan (at) hrpartner.io

I'm not sure I exactly follow, but anyway it's easy to find comments online from people who've worked at Apple recently who talk about how this is actually a logistical problem. Apple can't just throw data at their issues until things work like e.g. Google can, specifically because they do not collect as much data in the first place.

> as much Ah, so they're the privacy option because they only collect a lot of data, not gobs and gobs of data?

Yes?

You can disable Siri if you want.

You don't need to use location-based software.

Basically everything on an iPhone that collects data doesn't need to be used, and when it does collect data it's because it is usually needed.

TL;DR It looks like she donated $150MM when in actuality she only donated $37.5MM Can you imagine the optics of an active board member, of a multi-billion dollar company, profiting from said company -- she's on the board of -- buying the company she runs? Good grief that reeks. She understood she couldn't take that money in good conscience. So, she got out in front of the optics for a small fee by "donating to charit…

Isn't it how tax incentives work? Effectively she donated a bunch of money to a charity instead of the federal tax fund. Hopefully the charity is more efficient!

It really ought not to be though. I get that the reality is that it is but it irks me greatly that we don't simply tax more heavily and have a social system which works to solve the types of problems that charities aim to solve. Then if you wanted to do "charity work" you'd just work for the government.

I was just about to select a recruitment management service. Both Lever and Greenhouse has "call us" pricing, and sadly Google Hire follows the same trend. Only Workable has a clear pricing page, which gives them a big plus in my book. Since we're on G Suite, Hire could be a natural fit but the requirement to book a demo (and the accompanying upside-down shaking to see how much money falls out of our pockets) is a bi…

I use Workable (about 50 people in our company) and it isn't perfect, but it is very good compared to the competition. Support is responsive as well. It isn't cripplingly expensive. Overall I'd recommend it.

Will be interesting to see how Google Hire is used by agencies, as opposed to companies sourcing their own talent.

All true. And to be honest I have always been very turned off by their boastful "We only hire 50/50 Male/Female developer team." It's so in your face, it's like "why not hire the best person for the job?" Or when I see their internal job ads here, its like "Gee, I wonder if this is for a Male engineering role or a Female engineering role," or "Hope they didn't hire a bunch of dudes last week." So for a variety of rea…

What's wrong with a company stating its mission to hire a diverse workforce? It's pretty hard to hire for diversity, especially if you're not explicit about it.

What's wrong with it is that it's gender discrimination.
