Hi m00dy, Did you have any issues with the BaseCase recruitment process? I'll try my best to answer any questions you may have. Glancing at the logs, I think you are objecting to the fact it took ~9 business days to review your solution? I agree that this is long (and longer than usual). I can confirm that I'm restructuring how we handle our recruitment process to speed-up the review process (more people are being in…

Well, I have never posted solutions online before and I can understand your hesitations. But I simply don't care. Because You don't deserve it. I'm sure you can get a lot of candidates when you post here. But, that doesn't mean that you can treat them as you like. This is HN community not LinkedIn. You can't just show up after 9 days to invite me to the 2nd round. Not even follow-up emails. That thing drove me crazy.…

Hi m00dy,

I'd like to clarify one thing - none of your communications with BaseCase were 'automated' on the BaseCase-side. Every email that was signed-off by a person was manually sent by someone on our team. For 'common' emails, we do use email templates, but a person actually decides to send the template, not a bot.

(Technical detail: the second software test uses an email bot to time the test, but this bot is not reporting your recruitment status in any way, it's just sending the test and receiving your solution. It identifies itself as a bot in communications.)

I have asked our recruitment manager to send an acknowledgement email after every test submission (they usually do, but in your case you're right that they didn't).

Regards,

Diarmuid
