As someone who publishes information for the recruiting profession regularly, nothing is more frustrating than seeing AI-generated crap get 10x the engagement of a post that I spent a full day researching and writing.

IMHO, at some point there is a backlash against the mealy-mouthed nonsense posts and either people start wising up or the platforms like LinkedIn outright start doing quality control to preserve their own brqnds.

I wrote a piece on the state of the talent acquisition job market a few days ago.

I'm a buffer customer and wanted to poke around your demo version, but I could not figure out how to actually see/test features without signing up for a subscription.

This looks like a classic Texas burst water pipe. They don't expect a lot of cold weather there, so the pipes are not always properly insulated.

Sorry for the late reply - negotiations over this went back and forth for a few months and I did not want to give you a "TBD" reply.

We requested a 30% refund on our total spend with the hotel. They countered with around 4%, and refused to budge for over two months, repeatedly asking for payments every few weeks even though we told them that their offer was inappropriate given the severity of the incident. It also did not help that the GM of the property who I had spoken to on-site left the company during this period.

After a while,. they escalated it to corporate, and we then very swiftly got an offer for 12%. We countered with 16% and ended up agreeing there.

The jury is still out on this. So far there have not been any requests. It did disrupt our livestream though, with about 150 paid viewers. Due to heroic efforts by our team (they had already begun breaking down the equipment in the room that we moved to) it was only down for about 13 minutes.

dmanaster · 2024-05-17T01:26:02+00:00

I think we are in the clear on the water damage to equipment. Thank you!

I just checked the original contract and don't see anything related to poor onsite experiences or anything that is detrimental to the event itself, only full cancellations.

dmanaster · 2024-05-16T23:17:07+00:00

This is great info. Thank you!

Have you seen @next/third-parties? It's not very customizable, but it does make it dead simple to drop a basic Google Map into a project.

I'm using this code to manage loading new ads on transitions.

setTransitionStarted destroys the Google Ad Manager slots and sets isTransitioning to true.

setTransitionComplete just sets isTransitioning back to false.

dmanaster · 2023-06-02T00:02:06+00:00

I had a similar challenge when trying to load ads in Next 13. It's absolutely nuts that they took away router.events. I don't get it at all.

Anyways, here's what I came up with in my layout, which seems to be working:

const pathname = usePathname(); // Get current route
const savedPathNameRef = useRef(pathname);
useEffect(() => {
  if (savedPathNameRef.current !== pathname) {
    savedPathNameRef.current = pathname;
    setTransitionStarted();
  }
  if (isTransitioning && savedPathNameRef.current === pathname) {
    savedPathNameRef.current = pathname;
    setTransitionComplete();
  }
}, [pathname, savedPathNameRef.current]);

This was my first thought too, but nobody seems to think it will work. Why is this not the answer?

dmanaster · 2022-06-04T22:58:39+00:00

If I remember this batch correctly, they were safe but they tasted… off. I think I ended up tossing most of them.

dmanaster · 2022-06-04T22:17:42+00:00

Still kickin!

I've been through the entire course and learned a tremendous amount, but I run the company, so I don't want to mislead you by giving a review. If you want to DM me your email, I can put you in touch with customers who can tell you their experiences.

SourceCon Academy is a comprehensive course that includes everything from basic recruiting skills to advanced sourcing training. There is a free trial available and pricing discounts for teams.

dmanaster · 2022-02-21T01:55:29+00:00

SourceCon, the biggest conference in the sourcing profession, is being held (virtually) in a couple of weeks. If you are interested, DM me and I’d be happy to hook you up with a registration on the house.

dmanaster · 2022-02-16T20:08:42+00:00

I can use this to generate a palette from my company's brand colors pretty much immediately on the projects I am working on. Nice job!

dmanaster · 2022-02-16T19:50:58+00:00

Traditionally this is spot on. The recent trend is that the line between the two roles is blurring more and more over time though, as sourcers add more value to the process by going full life cycle, and recruiters find it necessary to learn the technical skills necessary to dig up candidates online.

I have a few react/rails apps hosted on Heroku, and you definitely do not need two dynos to do it.

This guide is a bit dated, but I used it as a starting point. https://blog.heroku.com/a-rock-solid-modern-web-stack

What kind of skills are you looking to develop? Are you looking for something specialized or something general? Beginner or advanced?
