I’d say I cost them a lot of money when I deleted my account, but they actually cost it themselves.
They could have asked me if I wanted a fancy jacket, because that ended up immediately getting recycled. The book was dece tho
Anyways, I ended up getting a job that I love the old fashioned way - through a friend.
Great concept, shit company.
Edit: Triplebyte employees reading this: you massively betrayed my trust. Had you asked me, and let me review on my own time, I might have even been proud to have a verified skill set badge page I could link to. Instead, I will probably look directly for your competitors on my next job search. You had a great idea, too bad that you seem to be irresponsible.
Being able to skip an hour or two out of a full interview across many companies is a great concept.
Having a 3rd party verified that allows you to be quickly matched with potential employers is a great concept.
Execution may be difficult, or impossible even. But that’s not an issue, when said company insists on shooting itself in the foot constantly.
I always thought getting jobs through friends was a decent vetted matchmaking process. That said, I've never had a lot of direct power to get friends hired, so I never felt it was nepotism. And the friends were usually from previous jobs.
Nepotism in government is restricted at the federal level, and most states have their own rules about it too. But in the private sector it is common and not illegal by itself. Think about it: if nepotism in businesses were illegal broadly, it would end the concept of family run businesses, and make small farms even harder to sustain.
