yonidejon Ask HN: Any recommendations on resources for learning one algorithm a day?

Hackerrank! I am currently taking an Algorithms course at Uni and I have found HackerRank's questions to be a great way to practice your coding skills. It can also help you out for recruiting.

yonidejon Sourcing as a Service

If you can crack this, it will be a very lucrative opportunity but I am afraid that the space is too crowded and there is not enough of a value proposition for quality candidates to give you their updated info.

Also doesn't Linkedin already do this. They have a search engine you can use to filter out applicants based on school, past experience and location. I also believe they released a lite version to make it more affordable.

Some startups you should look at if you're interested in this space: Hired.com, Whitetruffle and Wayup.com (they introduced a way for companies to post requirements and get paid per qualifed applicant)

yonidejon What strategies can a startup use to boost small to medium enterprise sales?

N.B. The problem with using enterprise sales tactics like cold calling for SME sales is the large number of SMEs. Often times the cost of calling every SME outweighs the profits from a single SME. So any growth hacking strategies that have a low cost and distributed approach would be perfect examples.
