Time flies when you're having fun, and my goodness we have had some. Through it all, both Hywel and Paul Lewis (He/Him) continue to ground themselves and centre the business around the foundations on which Hoop Recruitment LTD was created; compassion & integrity Some friends and I had a conversation about work, whereby we were talking about our career paths and debating the matter of job satisfaction. They work to simply make a living. I don't. They didn't get it. They asked, with complete bewilderment, "you honestly love your job?" My response to them was, "I really, really do". It's not the "job" that I love per se, it's the people I work with, the people I speak with, my clients, my candidates. I love having the freedom and autonomy to shape my approach so it's natural and sincere, not scripted and artificial. I am empowered by Paul & Hywel, and my colleagues and peers, to be myself, and I get to contribute to the development of some pretty spectacular people and they absolutely contribute towards my development too. So in essence, what I'm trying to say is "Thank You" to both Hywel & Paul. Thank you for taking a risk, changing the narrative and letting us actually find happiness for ourselves whilst doing the same for our clients and candidates. Here's to the next 7 🥂 #hooprecruitment #recruitment #thankyou #birthday #recruitmentagency

Last year at MadSkullz we integrated the Advent Calendar in a web3 way. 🎄 Each day we rewarded a different attribute of the main NFT collection, allocating a pool of 10,000 $FLSH tokens per day. The campaign had huge success inside our community, so we decided to bring it back this year using the exact same strategy! 🙌 Why did this campaign perform so well? Because of this 👇 ✅ User rewards ✅Daily surprises ✅It's relatable (we're in the Christmas season) ✅Familiarity (users already know what an Advent Calendar is and how it works) ✅FOMO How are you engaging users this year during Christmas?

#Kubernetes was initially created to handle stateless workloads, but guess what? Now it's also being used increasingly for running databases and other stateful applications! Some early adopters have found success with it, but there are still few established best practices for dealing with data on Kubernetes. 💪🏽 Community experts chatted with many companies and people already running data workloads on #kubernetes, they realized there's a real need for sharing tips and tricks about building and managing data-focused applications on Kubernetes. And that's how the Data on Kubernetes Community (DoKC) came into existence! https://dok.community/ Now they have launched their first ambassador program, which I am also a part of, along with amazing community members! Woohoo!! 🎉 🙌🏽 🏄🏽♀️ 🏂🏽 Robert Hodges, CEO of Altinity, Inc. 🏂🏽 Joe Brockmeier, Head of Community Percona 🏂🏽 Adheip Singh DataInfra 🏂🏽 Itamar Marom, Platform Engineer AppsFlyer If you are passionate about Kuberentes and Stateful application. DOK Ambassador application is still open https://lnkd.in/eePPCwfV Thanks, Melissa Logan and Hugh Lashbrooke 🤗 #community #dok #kubernetes #statefullapplications

Digital assessment and testing is a vital part of the learning lifecycle. 2023 proved, yet again, its importance for education as learning environments were challenged by the surge of GenAI tools available to both educators and learners. As the term comes to a close I wanted to thank everyone using our platform for all your support, dialogue and feedback! It’s exactly that which pushes us to continue innovating, improving the platform and developing strategies to work with Digiexam in your learning environments! Happy holidays to you all! See you when you return from the well deserved break! #digitalassessment #edtech #digitallearning #schoolleaders #digitaltechnologies #elearning #genai

I have followed Paras for a fair bit; he is on point when he speaks about building consumer apps for population scale. It is sad to see him shutter despite healthy and abundant resources; have also observed many of my friends closely putting their head and heart at various consumer applications! It is one of the reasons I dreaded entrepreneurial stints - the job is humongously hard; at Probo//Pavilion- we see it everyday! Going against Google, Meta and TikTok is mammoth task. 90% founders do not realise (going in) how engaging and sticky their platforms are - more importantly we do not spend time understanding the evolution of these platforms to global behemoths. It is all a game of “attention” - internet has transitioned human behaviour - an average working person spends anywhere around ~6-12 hrs across various devices on an average (per day) - fair to say we spend less time with ourselves or other human beings (irl) than on devices. Bulk of these 6-12 hrs is across apps by these big tech firms (WA, YT, Insta/Twitter/LinkedIn, TikTok, Netflix/Disney/Amazon, Gmail, Chrome, Safari, iMessage/slack/teams/zoom/gmeet) - they do have ALL our attention. Everything from hardware to OS to software runs through or via them - like a magician anyone on internet is only a node away from these companies , and they know how to get our attention. A new start-up trying their luck for customers attention, from Koramangala or GCR is literally dead on arrival. Now this is not a ding on anyone nor am I trying to discourage anyone from starting up, but the lengths companies go to ensure screen time and attention is something everyone must take deep notes on - business is not a positive sum game. Understanding how attention economy works is key to build anything on internet - please do not be naive 🙏 The only weapon I can offer a team thinking of going against any of these behemoths, is WILL POWER. Can you suffer pain and endless stream of pain and yet keep figuring ways to move forward? Most (young and old) founders do not wish to discuss pain and discomfort, my good wishes to them. Others drink/ smoke / sleep their discomfort away - I have tried all methods (and happy to learn more) but I am ye to find a school or a method that teaches this curriculum (may be special forces or a really strict coach/dad) but in today’s times even strictness is considered cruelty - so not sure how can I put this across to you (you = internet startup’s and teams; teams building for Viksit Bharat) Jensen Huang said it one way on the GSB interview; another simpler one was by my dear friend when he took me to the Beatles Ashram in Rishikesh before we started Probo “You cannot escape your demons; you can only slay them!” Slaying will require willpower 🇮🇳❤️
