Skill-based hiring is more complex than “traditional” experience/education based hiring but it can work really well for orgs. that really invest in this method of hiring.
And by investing I mean they train and empower their recruiters to spot and assess the skills the business is looking for.
Many businesses talk the talk but don’t set themselves up skills-based hiring.
I think a terrorist like Shamima should be hanging from a rope.
Saying that, as Brit born and raised here, it brings me quite a bit of comfort knowing that I’m a lesser citizen than the natives since my parents are immigrants.
One law for the natives. One law for us foreigner-born cunts. Equal in citizenship? Like fuck we are.
As a current iPhone owner the one thing I miss about android is how easy it was to install apps from outside the play store.
Maybe we will get a better web browser one day!
Except that’s not what happened in reality before Google started rolling out their version of RCS.
The carriers implemented their own versions that didn’t weren’t interoperable with each other, and that was for the ones that even bothered with it at all.
And now they have even less incentive to try.
RCS is nice in theory, but no one is serious about implementing the universal profile.
I hope they do it. And I hope It’s bad enough to push users away.
Then I my exit out of the Meta ecosystem will be complete!
And yet, no developer other than Samsung has been granted access to Google’s version of RCS.
I’d love to see a truly standard, rich, secure messaging service, but I’m not convinced what Google is doing here is any better than Apple.
Because Google are trying to get regulators involved when it doesn’t really affect anyone?
Seems like a bad idea on principle
So what’s the idea here? Apple rolls out another extended version of RCS that’s proprietary as well?
The lot of them are fucking idiots. Sunak’s Conservatives don’t have a single redeeming quality.
What did we expect from the nasty party? Of course they support Israel’s right to bomb civilians and starve children.
Bad candidate experiences suck and Workday is the absolute worst.
In my most recent round of job hunting about six months ago, I had a pretty decent rate of getting a screening call with a recruiter at the company. Maybe around a quarter of applications got me there.
Despite my pretty decent odds of getting a call, it was never worth applying to a company with Workday.
I don’t want to sign up to their shitty candidate portal with another set of login credentials I have to manage.
I don’t want to repeat what I wrote on my CV, because their parsing is abysmal.
I don’t want to have to use a desktop because it doesn’t because feel like working on mobile that day.
I’ve had friends refer me for positions at the companies they work at. I’ve had talent acquisition reach out on LinkedIn, who’ve been professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the role and their company. But in both cases, if they ultimately needed me to create a profile in Workday I’ve told them I’m not interested.
Given how good ATS’ have become about highlighting potential good fit candidates to recruiters - there is no reason candidates should have to input anything other than their CV, basic contact info / screening questions and a cover letter (depending on role). And it should all work smoothly using a mobile device.
I’m sure this is entirely out of Meta’s concern for user privacy and not the looming EU regulations on tracking required to be opt in rather than opt out.
It’s a good point about the weight of EVs. I suppose it’s a question of whether the benefit of EVs are worth the extra wear on the roads.
When comparing ICE cars though, it’s a pretty clear cut argument that SUVs are worse for everyone except the occupants.
And because they’re heavier, there’ll be more wear and tear on the roads too.
RCS was meant to be a SMS replacement spec for carriers to implement but it never reached ubiquity like SMS did.
And of the carriers that rolled it out, not all of them rolled it out to the same spec either so they’re not even completely interoperable.
Then there’s the fact that many of the Google Messages features such as E2E encryption aren’t a part of the RCS Spec. They were built on top of it by Google.
And unless you’re Samsung, good luck on building a messaging app that’s interoperable with the Google version of RCS they use in messages.
In short, Google RCS runs through Google’s servers, not the carriers like it was designed for. As far as I see it, it’s just the Google version of iMessage.
If you want to download the actual RCS universal profile spec as defined by GSMA you can find it here, missing quite a few things from the Google version you see in Messages:
I’d love to see an open, secure, universal rich messaging standard adopted by everyone but we know that’s not gonna happen.
Carriers have literally no incentive to improve on SMS, I doubt they’ll lose any customers because of a lack of RCS adoption.
Do I like the locked in nature of iMessage? Not really, but it’s honestly not that big of a deal here (UK).
I just don’t like how Google talks about their proprietary messaging service as though it’s an industry standard. It’s not. Google RCS is not RCS.
Would definitely go some way to explaining why morale in the police (the Met at least) has been terrible for years and experienced officers are leaving faster than new ones are joining.
Why do such a stressful job if you don’t even believe you’re ultimately making a difference?
I agree with your point on reducing our exploitation of the developing world, but do you think the current measures will actually achieve that? I think it’ll only leave a gap there for other global manufacturers to fill and ultimately net exploitation of the developing world won’t be impacted by this.
Now I don’t want to argue that since there’ll be exploitation regardless so it’s better that “we” do it, but I think it would be better (from both a UK and EU perspective) to have European manufacturers to rely on those supply chains as they are at the moment, capture market share and exert influence on them to make them more ethical and sustainable, rather than let other global manufactures take that market where we’re able to exert less influence on them to clean up their act.
Would it not be better to be slightly more pragmatic about this and positively incentivise the development of local supply chains rather than wash our hands of the exploitation (that will continue to go on) as long as it’s someone else doing it?
I’m not sure if being able to shoot with impunity is what these armed officers are asking for. It seems that they’ve lost confidence that the justice systems will treat them or their colleagues fairly after being asked to make split second decisions that could result in someone losing their life in extremely dangerous situations.
The police should be accountable, but I don’t think it’s good for either the police or the public that these armed officers hesitate to act in situations that call for their intervention because they’re worried about being prosecuted if it all goes wrong.
Officers who were acting by the book shouldn’t be afraid of doing their job just because there was an unfortunate outcome.
It’s ok guys. They forgot to condemn Hamas while they were starving and seeking refuge so it’s ok.
