I won’t say much about the hell of recruiting and interviewing, enough has been said already. Suffice to say that we posted a job announce stating specifically that we wouldn’t accept CVs not in HTML, txt or PDF format. So far 80% of the applications we’re getting has a word attachment. Frustrated…
About me
I'm Gianugo Rabellino, Open Source enthusiast, passionate golfer, foodie and geek at heart.
I'm the founder and CEO of Sourcesense, a European Open Source consultancy and systems integrator, a member of the Apache Software Foundation and a guy who's been paying his bills with Open Source for more than 15 years now. Did I mention I'm a lawyer?
I used this same technique to filter my applicants list on the last opening we had.
The why I figure it, if someone can’t follow the instructions in a job application then I don’t want them on the team -regardless of how good their other skills.
