Boston Rubyists,

I've worked as an internal recruiter for a startup for the past 3 weeks.  I'm really shocked at how f*cking broken the hiring process is for companies.

I'm so fed up with this BS that I decided to start posting and embarrassing the recruiters on our blog at http://blog.referralbon.us

Have a look see... and a good laugh.  Feel free to share the blog links in your social media to show just how shitty most recruiters are.

Meanwhile ReferralBonus is moving to completing and launching our peer-sourcing job - candidate matching application in time for our appearance at SXSW Interactive Accelerator competition as an Alternate Finalist.

Hi Marsh!

Dan Sharp here... from HealthTalker, remember? I really enjoyed your blog. Very interesting, and definitely rings true (at least in my experience).

Well, the ups-and-downs of life continue... I'm not at HealthTalker anymore. I took an opportunity to move back to the mountains of Colorado, so I'm in Golden, CO now doing Rails work for Ingersoll Rand (go figure, but it's a sweet setup. It's a satellite office with just devs, practicing Agile and the whole nine yards).

What a ride!

Anyway, thanks again for all you did. I know we never were able to find a good match at HT, but I do appreciate the effort you put in, and I want you to know that you are on my short list of "good recruiters" (yeah, it's a pretty short list. Such is life, eh?).

Oh, and funny thing, though I hesitate a little to mention it: a colleague of mine mentioned today his interest in Abroad101. And I thought.. hmmm... that sounds familiar, where have I heard that before? Then I went to the careers section and saw the POC for the Rails position(s) was ma...@abroad101.com. Bing! What a small world!

Anyway, I wish you and Abroad101 all the best!

-Dan
Back in CO and lovin' it!
