Hi there I'm Gordon and I am a software engineer! I have worked in the startup space for the 4 past years in London and San Francisco. Over this time I, like many others, have experienced the way in which the world of tech recruiting works. I have grown frustrated by the number of times I have been contacted about roles not suited to me and how recruiters regularly pitch me roles based on technologies I used in previ…

I'm having some trouble logging in. First time I got redirected back from Github (to http://www.workshape.io/api/0/session/connect/github/callbac... ), I got {}, second time I tried, I got { name: "RqlDriverError", msg: "Object field 'id' may not be undefined", message: "Object field 'id' may not be undefined" }

ditto exactly the same for me

Same here.

Sorry about that. I'll look into this as soon as I can. Do either of you mind if I contact you via email to resolve?

I have nothing bad to say about this. Does it take into account relationships between tags? Like if someone puts in CSS3 will it put CSS in the listing? Is there going to be a "questions" section? :P

At present there is a crude tree of connected skills that feeds into the matching algorithm. CSS3 has the same root as CSS. The presentation of what you entered will remain the same though.

As for a questions section it is not on the roadmap... yet!

Same for me; was looking at it as a potential customer, although outside London

No matches so far (I got more on tinder, lol), but extremaly useful, well done. Altough it would be nice if one could also explore offers that don fit him perfectly, especially when there's no others. It always good to know what market needs.

Thanks for this insight. We'll take this onboard for next iterations.

Same here.

Never used Node or Rethink but looks like the DB treats undefined vs null values differently (errors on the former, inserts the latter).
