HackerX

It's a passive/invite only recruiting event, so I doubt anyone here has been (yall stewpid lol)
 
I was invited to a local one. Didn't go - all hell would break loose if I were to be spotted. :)
 
"HackerX is an invite-only passive recruiting event for developers"

Sounds like it should be called "DevX" ...

Maybe if you asked why I can't make it then you'd get a proper answer. My cousin is out of the country so I am babysitting her kid until she comes back. So I can't really just get home at any time I want. And I did see that it's in the evening hence I said I'd go if it was over the weekend. Stop assuming, doesn't look good on you...

Yeah if you really had the inclination you'd make the effort or come up with a solution.
 
I checked my email and found an invite (yippee!). Where did they get my email though? Did they "hack" it?
Looks like a pretty cool event if you're looking for a job. I don't have much interest in being passively recruited though.
 
I also got an invite. I would actually like to know where they got my email address. Linkedin? How else would they know I am a developer?
 
I was curious - then saw you pay to go. (also - it was Front-End)

Probably from sources like LinkedIn, MVP, ...

Suspect this is likely to have as much long term success as an out of the blue "headhunter's call / email" and considerably less than a kickstarter funded project.
 
So invite only all you have to do is request an invite :crylaugh:

Just another recruitment angle.

For local recruitment in IT I quite liked Offerzen and it's free (and you get R5,000 from them if you land a job through them). Didn't quite work out for me (not corporate compatible) but I've gone the freelance route with Google Adwords + my website and that's working for me. Pity Offerzen doesn't do contract, yet.
 
I'm suffering the corporate thing ATM. Reached a point in my life where it's not for me.

Hoping to move out by end of next year.
