HiDimensional – senior engineers recommend candidates to startups

Hi HN! We’re excited to share with you the public beta launch of our startup, HiDimensional (www.hidimensional.com). We are a platform consisting of senior engineering leaders who interview candidates and provide recommendations of the best candidates and their strengths. We then use the recommendations to refer these candidates to founders of startups that match their strengths and interests. The recommendation serves as a personal referral from the interviewer, so for candidates, it amplifies their application and fast-tracks them through the process. And for companies, they are receiving…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN! We’re excited to share with you the public beta launch of our startup, HiDimensional (www.hidimensional.com). We are a platform consisting of senior engineering leaders who interview candidates and provide recommendations of the best candidates and their strengths. We then use the recommendations to refer these candidates to founders of startups that match their strengths and interests. The recommendation serves as a personal referral from the interviewer, so for candidates, it amplifies their application and fast-tracks them through the process. And for companies, they are receiving pre-vetted candidates endorsed by someone they can trust. That last point is key - our interviewers are established senior engineers (e.g., former Head of ML @ Quora, former VP @ Addepar, former Head of Newsfeed @ Facebook, etc.) and technical founders and hiring managers, so we believe their word carries weight. We have over 30 such interviewers today, and they cover a variety of engineering disciplines from full-stack/product engineers to data scientists to backend/data engineers, and everything in between. There’s more detail about the platform, how it works here: https://blog.hidimensional.com/2017/09/07/introducing-hidime... We’d love to hear your feedback or if you have any questions about this or generally about technical hiring, feel free to drop us a message at [email protected]! And of course, if you’re interested in trying out the service as a candidate, sign up on our website: www.hidimensional.com/signup Thanks! Pradeep & Nikhil P.S. If you’d like to interview on our platform or hire our candidates, we’d love to hear from you. Send us a note at [email protected].

    Anonymous interview evals of strong software/ML engineering candidates2017 · ▲95

    We are a recruiting startup with a small twist. We represent engineering candidates who receive a recommendation through our personalized vetting process, which includes a technical interview with an unbiased third-party senior engineer. We match the candidates with interviewers based on their background and the roles they are looking for. We pay for the senior engineer's time to interview so that the feedback is completely unbiased. These interviews are unique in that they are not set up to test if a candidate is a fit for a pre-set role, but instead they are personalized to extract each…

    Bootstrap your startup with high end gigs2011 · grouptalent.com · ▲71

    Hey guys, we just launched a platform to match top startups with high end projects. We're focused on supporting startups that would rather take on a short term consulting gig than raising a round of funding. We'd love some feedback. Thanks!

    Our little bootstrapped startup is powering CNN's ticker for NYE2014 · ▲154

    Our little startup you've never heard of, called Vidpresso, is powering CNN's New Year's Eve social media ticker! It's a huge accomplishment for us. We're originally Utah based (our other employees are in NM and Karachi though) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bc3GdRrCUAAqLaN.jpg:large I'm posting this more out of sheer excitement than anything. I wanted to share that any startup anywhere can have exciting wins like this... regardless of whether you're in SV, went to MIT, or whatever. Just make something people want, and it'll work out. In 2014, start the thing you've been…

    Worldwide Startup Search Engine2023 · symonda.com · ▲6

    Hi HN, We are building a search engine to help founders, investors, and early adopters to easily discover startups from all over the world. Discovering startups - whether it is a potential competitor, to validate an idea or as part of a DD process - is a difficult and time-consuming process. We believe that many existing platforms require expensive subscriptions and general-purpose search engines often do not give a complete enough picture. To solve this problem, we are releasing a free-to-use search engine (with a relatively generous daily limit on search volume). No sign-up is required. We…

    Safely share and compare your Startup Engineer Salary2014 · ▲11

    Hi HN, This is a mixture between a Show and Ask HN. I really appreciate your time and thoughts on this. My name is Alexis and I would like to show you something I've been working on on the technical side: It's called Huddle Metrics. Huddle Metrics is basically a safe place for you to anonymously share and compare sensitive data with your community. Sort of like a very controlled collaborative spreadsheet, really. Or a survey. But hopefully better. Think engineering salary and your equity in the company. Information that you track yourself but that's too taboo to share. If a pool of the data…

How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
