The Whiteboard

I flew to England last weekend on something of a busman’s holiday that, when factoring in the unscheduled landing in Bali to jettison a sick child and consequent rush through Dubai airport to make the connecting flight, was pretty much 28 hours on a plane.

Throughout my life, I have competed on a worldwide level for many laser tag championships.

How to Keep Every Job Interview On The Right Track

The Airport Test: A Simple Rule for Startup Hiring

Beamery

Recruiting for your startup is hard. In fact, it could be even harder than raising money, closing deals, finding partners and doing sales. Most startup founders and early employees are pretty inexperienced when it comes to hiring, and they rarely devote enough time to the process (in the early stages of your company it’s pretty hard to drag yourself away from anything that generates revenue).
