#2As a developer in the Toronto area, I suspect I would be working for Top Hat if their recruiters were better. I've had two or three interactions with them and each time they completely dropped the ball.
Extra funding is great, but if they can't hire, they can't use it.

They also have a pretty bad reputation among U of T students.

#4This story has a bunch of internal hyperlinks, but none pointing at the actual product. To save a Google: https://tophat.com
An aside: why is news on the web still so bad at this? Presumably because sites are incentivised to not let people leave through an external link? Is there a way to incentivise better linking?

I called them out on this in one of the Who's Hiring posts they always comment on. This seems like a reallllyyyy obvious problem for them...

Opening links in a new tab with the target="_blank" attribute in your html tag? Keeps the user on the main site in a different tab, and when they close out the new tabs page, they are kicked back into the original site.

#8I didn't like tophat because it brought computers into the classroom where they don't belong.
But anything that attacks person is honestly probably a good thing, they seem to be actively hostile to students.

I haven't heard great things about working there over the years.
