Envoy - San Francisco (onsite and remote friendly)

Envoy is a beautiful, modern visitor sign in system for the iPad. Collect visitor information along with support for signing NDAs, printing badges, or automatically sending SMSs to their hosts. It's visitor management re-imagined.

We're looking for iOS and Rails engineers. We want people who use the right tool for the job. It's not always about perfect code, and it's not always about hitting deadlines; we look for a healthy balance of both.

We're a small but growing team. This is a great place to learn, grow and participate first hand in something that’s going to be huge.

Unmortgage | London, UK | ONSITE | FULL-TIME Designer - Producer of Pretty

We're fixing the broken housing ladder with DIY Shared Ownership.

Unmortgage offers a completely new way for people to get on the housing ladder without needing to take out a mortgage.

Occupiers get capital to buy a home worth up to ten times their income with only a 5% deposit.

It also opens up owner-occupied residential property as an asset class for pension funds, who earn inflation-linked rent on the portion the occupier doesn't own.

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…

One would have to wonder how chaotic this firm is if a recruitment manager isn't capable of sending an E-Mail to every potential recruit they're supposed to send an E-Mail to.

Why are you still repping these cases as individual mishaps?

It took you 5 weeks to get back to me and it only happened after (because?) I posted here.

I'm not OP, but I wouldn't recommend applying there either. Their process is completely broken (they require candidates to spend hours on at least two assignments before even an initial interview). This might be OK if an applicant had no CV or portfolio. In any case, most companies (large and small) thankfully don't do this.

Thanks for the feedback. Our recruitment process is: 1. Screening test (~10-20min) 2. Outline of salary range, working environment, product, and of remaining recruitment process (our "FAQ"). 3. Final "software architecture" test (3.5hrs - 6hrs avg, 9hr max) 4. ~2 1hr interviews 5. Offer Note that after the 10-20min screening test we disclose the rest of the process in detail as a matter of course. I understand that y…

"I'm genuinely interested in alternative methods of assessing people's ability to write high-quality code."

Step 1: Specify what high quality code IS.

Step 2: Ask them to write high quality code.

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit.

You are taking the shotgun approach of asking everyone open-ended questions and if they don't strike your particular nerve, you dismiss them. You're not testing for ability, you test for luck. Most people are capable of following directions, but you are not providing direction. You just expect people to kinda know what it is that you're looking for.

Given the fact that they are perpetually hiring, looks like their process is broken and their CTO has unreasonable expectations. Anyhow, won't recommend applying either.

kept mum for long but happened to me too, although last year. 8 hours challenge, no rejection response until I asked, no reason why submission was considered bad. Won't recommend applying.
