Workable
This week’s brainfood is supported by our buddies at Workable who have just introduced Video Interviews, their new remote screening tool.
“We’re using Video Interviews to pre-screen candidates and move quickly into the interview step. Normally, we have daily open interview sites, but this process is not possible for us due to the crisis. This tool has helped us be more efficient and get our jobs done.” - Brandi Hale, Head of People and Culture at Salad and Go They’d like to help you too, so new and existing customers get free access for 3 months.

Using Emojis to Find Hidden Talent
Superb how-to on something really quite basic - you can search for emojis and it can lead to candidates. I particularly like this post in the way it reminds you how dumb search engines really are - they will deliver what you ask them - you just have to ask the right questions….. SOURCING

The Power of Admitting Ignorance
‘Prof. Kreck, I really would love to understand the proof of the Poincaré conjecture. Do you have any tips for me?’ He looked at me calmly and replied something like ‘Not really, but best of luck to you; maybe you can it explain it to me once you understand it.’ CULTURE

Do You Miss The Office?
If you do miss the office, then this app might be exactly the thing you need to cure you of that madness. Click on the items, have them make the noise, then settle back onto your couch in your PJ’s and thank the Lord for good wifi at home…. COOL TOOL

Pricing Your Product (or Service)
This is good by Sequoia Capital. It’s a guide for startup founders, but as many of us I suspect are now considering the solopreneur route in response to layoff and redundancy, it’s massively applicable to us also. EMPLOYER BRANDING

The ‘Credibility Bookcase’ Is the Quarantine’s Hottest Accessory
Now I realise my ‘ Fighting Fantasy’ books might well be damaging to brand. Interesting brainfood nonetheless here - on how your webcam background can communicate messages all on its own. You can of course, always use BBC’s Empty Sets

I keep running into murals by Zabou in my early morning bike rides. She’s an incredible street artist whose wall filling portraits of the people of London have a way of softening what can sometimes be quite a hard city. Think I might go on a Pokemon style Zabou hunt and see if I can ‘collect them all’ - what do you think? Have a great week everybody. Hung
