The Rise of the Triple Peak Day
The Rise of the Triple Peak Day
Interesting research yet again from Microsoft, whose tracking of internal data on MS Teams is providing insight on the evolving rhythms of work as we habituate to remote first, asynchronised way of working. Are you experiencing a ‘triple peak’ of work during your working day?

Can an Experienced Recruiter be any Good with 378 LinkedIn Connections?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - brainfooder Tim Sackett is one of the best conversation starters in our business, mainly through poke-the-bear provocations like this. Is the number of LinkedIn Connections just a vanity metric or a genuine measure of recruiter competence? Read on the get Tim’s take.

Today’s Creator Economy was Built on Subscribers and Patrons. What Comes Next?
Even though this newsletter is curated, rather than created content, in many ways the concerns outlined in this post reflect the challenges of running Recruiting Brainfood as a ‘sponsor paid, subscriber free’ business. Competition for attention is steep, so greater incentive for content to clickbait. I hope I am avoiding this, but please do let me know how I am doing keeping this ‘brainfood’

We Analyzed 100K Technical Interviews to see where the Best Performers Work. Here are the Results
Interesting conjecture on which tech employers have the best tech interviewers. Some methodology concerns with this analysis (HN doesn’t like the findings, but guess what, they are a tough crowd ;-), but great to see some more attention paid to quantitatively assessing the quality of interviews. Have a read.

Dear Manager, You’re Holding Too Many Meetings
Dear Manager, You’re Holding Too Many Meetings
I think we all agree on this, and yet we keep on having meetings overload. Are we ‘communicating’ or doing something else? The evidence is clear, we need to be militant against unnecessary meetings. Easy read from HBR, along with some easy-on-the-eye charts to illustrate the point.

I Tried GitHub Copilot and it's the Best Thing Ever
I Tried GitHub Copilot and it's the Best Thing Ever
Some effusive praise for one of the most exciting developments in AI in recent years; Github’s Copilot is essentially a code auto-generator, leveraging the best solutions committed by hundreds of human software engineers trying to solve similar problems in the past. OP rates the value in terms of time save + better quality output and rates his chances of tech unemployment as…at least 10 years away. It is, inevitably, coming though.

Does the Gender-Equality Paradox Actually Exist?
Does the Gender-Equality Paradox Actually Exist?
The paradox is this: the countries which talk most loudly about gender equality, actually produce more less women engineers than those countries which do not prominently have ideological arguments about it. Some data, some meta-analysis and some wisdom, on a fascinating phenomena. Great post

How Virtual Reality Can Help to Recruit and Train Staff
“…once people adopt this training, it’s tough to go back to computer-based training. This is just so immersive and engaging that companies will definitely be adding this to their overall training solutions…”
True for anyone who has ever put on an Occulus I think. It is the near total immersion which gets you. Good article from BBC on how AR / VR is being implemented for training and upskilling.

Nearly $9K USD raised for humanitarian relief for the people of Ukraine after one one week from conception to execution.

End notes
I’m writing this newsletter from Rye, a beachside town on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. It’s a beautiful place but there is no internet and I’m currently tethering on a mobile phone which is not mine. Got me interested in the this cool open source map of the world’s cellular towers. Pretty cool huh?
Going to be in South Victoria for the next couple days, before heading up to Sydney in Tuesday. DM me on twitter or Instagram or TikTok if you are in town and at a loose end….
Have a great week everybody.
