Announcing PIaaS - Python Interviewing as a Service

Hello, readers,

Announcing Python Interviewing as a Service:

I'm now officially offering PIaaS - Python Interviewing as a Service. I have done it some earlier, informally, for clients. Recently a couple of companies asked me for help on this again, so I am now adding it to my list of offered services, the others being consulting (software design and development, code review, technology evaluation and recommendation) and software training.

I can help your organization interview and hire Python developer candidates, offloading (some of) that work from your core technical and HR / recruitment staff.

I can also interview on related areas like SQL and RDBMS, and Unix and Linux commands and shell scripting.

I have long-term experience in all the above areas.

To hire me for PIaaS or to learn more about it, contact me via the Gmail address on my site's contact page.

Book - Why good people can't get jobs

Why Good People Can’t Get Jobs: The Skills Gap and What Companies Can Do About It | Wharton Digital Press

Had independently thought of a couple of conclusions stated in this book, a while ago, particulary the one related to training. The book is about the U.S. and is relevant for startups as well as established companies. The conclusions may surprise some people.

CrowdHired launched by Skorks and two others

By Vasudev Ram - dancingbison.com | @vasudevram | jugad2.blogspot.com

CrowdHired is a new startup that recently launched. The team consists of Alan Skorkin, a Ukrainian software developer from Kharkiv (Kharkov) who now lives in Australia and blogs at http://www.skorks.com . I've read some of his blog posts earlier and found them interesting. Many of them are on the topic of software craftsmanship, and one was about writing a web spider in Ruby, IIRC.

[ UPDATE: Here is that post of his about writing a web crawler in Ruby:

Though I haven't checked out CrowdHired in detail yet (I applied for an invite very recently), I read some of the description of it, and it seems to have an interesting approach to online hiring. As readers can guess from the name of the site, it seems to apply the concept of crowdsourcing to the area of hiring. How it does that is an exercise left to the reader :)
