Re: Salary Surveys | Hirefully

Red Canary — Fri, 12 Dec 2014 12:34:48 -0000

Hi eHero!

All these positions are full-time, but we do have the occasional contract role - it will be marked as such. As for a Senior Product Manager, we don't have a survey for a role like that yet, but stay tuned! New salaries will be posted as they come available.

Thanks!

Re: Intermediate Project Manager - Red Canary

I agree 100%. For some jobs, experience can be the wrong metric. If the job calls for someone to work in a new/emerging market, then experience is less important. Some people go to work for 20 years and accomplish very little. Others can make an impact in a matter of months. Successful leaders err on the side of accomplishment over tenure. If people have done well to date, then chances are good that they'll continue to do so.

And when you're looking for a good employer, look for the ones that will hire you for your potential, not just your past.

Re: Product Management Survey and Work | Life results! - Red Canary

Red Canary — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 09:41:07 -0000

Total respondents for Product Management was 223. That's a little misleading however, in that some respondents didn't give a salary, and some didn't give a location, and some gave a salary and not much else.

F# should be there, you're right. I think this list needs to be updated and refreshed. It shows you just how fast technology moves.

Votes from the same IP were not removed. Only votes that had five identical selections, plus one or two oddballs that had four and were from the same ip and with a very close time stamp. The raw data is there if you want to see what I mean.

Sorry, yes, it is a bit harsh, but what you couldn't see is that the IP addresses for most of the 'stuffers' were the same. ProductWiki has a valid case in that your votes (mostly) didn't fall into that category, but we couldn't let this to be a popularity contest either. The fact that very few people even chose the same company three (never mind five) times told me that those fan votes were not objective. It's not perfect, but it's as fair as I could make it.

Re: A great online resume is more than just a resume (and I'll prove it) - Red Canary

Red Canary — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 10:34:52 -0000

I think that would depend very much on the age of the clicker. Something like 50% of employers now do an online background (read: social network) check, and that would definitely involve some clicking. My guess is that most tech HR people would click. Also, you need to consider the chance that the resume is passed to a hiring manager. If you're linking to something that's salient to the role, it's going to get clicked.

Yes, and so is BrainPark, which is why we included the * on Waterloo Region*, stretching it to include Guelph and the Tri-Cities area. In truth it was hard to find a blanket name for the region that out-of-towners would understand.

Re: The ugliest 100 million dollar website in the world - Red Canary

I think the natural question with Craigslist is 'did they find success because of the formula they used or in spite of it?'.

As a lapsed marketer, my immediate reaction is the latter. However, I think the reality is that word-of-mouth (the organic unsolicited kind, not this 'conversuasion' nonsense), has always been powerful, and now it's played out at the speed of social networking.

What is increasingly true for marketers is that they are simply not able to do much beyond first contact. Or, as advertising legend David Ogilvy put it, "I can sell a bad product, but only once".

Because as a small site it's important to let candidates and clients know that we've filled hundreds of jobs in a range of disciplines. It also helps people understand what kind of positions we post.

I'm sorry that our financial roles are limited, we just don't entertain that many of them. We certainly did not give permission for a filled job to be scraped by another site and positioned as new.
