| |

Companies typically spend hours objectively analyzing the benefits of purchasing a new piece of equipment, but they often spend far less time interviewing candidates, the results of which are often based on subjective feelings as to which candidates seem to be the best. |

| |
|

Why You Should Include Open Source Work in Your Portfolio
| |
| Very recently, one of our product architects posted a job opening on our site to find an additional engineer to add to our growing team (in a remote provider capacity). He received inquiries from a number of interested freelance provider candidates and then proceeded to interview to find the top provider for the team.
Once he had narrowed the list down to just a few freelance provider candidates, he researched their work history in more detail, finally selecting a particular candidate in India largely based on an example of his work.
What it ultimately came down for my co-worker in his freelance selection process was reviewing prior work on open-source projects.
Why should you care about open-source work? |

The Physics of Recruiting- Be A Magnet for Talent
| |
| If YOU (as the recruiter, HR, or hiring manager) are being the magnet, then you should be able to attract the "right" candidates and repulse the wrong candidates. Are you with me? So, as you go through your slate of candidates, you don't necessarily want the candidates you think are saying all the right things. Anyone can practice to do well in an interview. What you need to be looking for are those candidates who have the experience on paper AND who can bring something different to the organization. |

How to Prepare The Source Files for Language Translation
| |
| Preparing Source Files for Language Translation frequently referred to "source language" files or "source files." For companies new to language translation services, the biggest surprise may be the number of source files that can be required for a complex project, e.g. an extensive website localization project. But just what is a source file?
In most instances, source files will refer to project files which contain text that must be translated and localized. This could include graphics files (e.g. Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop) which contain editable text layers. The most common examples of a text-based source file would be a Microsoft Word file, a FrameMaker file or an XML file. |
