Thanks a lot for reading.
Most of the blogging platforms use some kind of toolbar.
I was wondering are there any blogging platforms which support markup and being useful.
I am focusing on live editing. Not like you write a bunch of markup files and a processor converts them to html.
TL;DR
I am offering interview as a service (taking first round on your behalf) for technical roles (0-8 yrs exp) for $150 each. Would you be interested?
Generally (assumption) even after the resume has been filtered by HR folks (who are mostly non-tech), you end up with 1 out of 5 candidate cleared after the telephonic rounds. This is definitely time consuming as developers are getting involved here and their hours are getting wasted.
If you do the calculation (assumption here), so to hire 1 candidate, you end up wasting 15-20 hours (at least) of developers time on unsuccessful interviews.
My proposal:
I will study your company, team and requirements beforehand.
Once you have identified a candidate, you can let me know and I will conduct the first round and give you a feedback.
My assumption again, this will improve the ratio to 1 out of 2. My confidence is that it will be far better than 0.5
Who can I interview: Technical (hands on) roles for software development (for startups and bigger corporations). Experience 0-8 yrs.
What can I interview: CS fundamentals (OS, systems, networking, DB, Algorithms, Data Structures etc.), Technologies: C/C++, Ruby, RoR, HTML, Javascript.
I believe that cs fundamentals are the key though.
Pricing: $150 per interview (payable by paypal or direct account transfer to bank of america)
I think this proposal suits small to medium sized startups.
About me: I have BS (IIT G) and MS (USC) in computer science with more than 8 years of work experience. 2-3 years on RoR.
I have given tons of interview and taken tons of them too during my career.
