Let's face it, over the counter resume drops are as frustrating for your job applicants as they are for you. Weirdly can make that particular headache, go right away.

Imagine the impact you could have on your employer brand, marketing and even sales if you turned saying no into a positive brand-building experience.

Building a startup is an emotional rollercoaster - especially at 2am. That's why getting awesome feedback about our candidate experience from real-life job applicants feels like Vin Diesel hitting that boost button.

We've added a few tasty features in the latest update, including the ability for you to embed your Weirdly recruitment quiz into your company website.

Taking an exhibition booth at an industry conference is an awesome way to hit new prospective clients, but when you're a new startup with a small budget, it can be tricky to stand out. Here are some things we tried, some stuff to avoid and the best tricks we found for next time you're exhibiting.

We recently announced we were working on a series of integrations to help Weirdly sit more comfortably in your recruitment process. Integration #1 is now live! You can now launch your quiz and post it directly to TradeMe Jobs job-board with one click.

We know that a culture of celebration makes for happier teams. We also know happier teams are heaps more productive. So how can we all build this kind of celebratory, productive culture? Here are 5 ways we're doing it (and 4 arguments for why it's important!).

Keen to get your hands on Weirdly and test whether it'll work in your business? Kinda pressed for time though and not sure how to start setting up your own quiz? We're offering a limited time consulting hour: Helping you define your organisational culture and design a quiz that'll highlight the right applicants.

Imagine having a talent pool of brilliant people with the right skills and drive just waiting to work for you? It's a recruitment dream, right? Weirdly recruitment software can make that easy.

Making massive impact is really, really easy if you’ve got heaps of money to throw at your sourcing – carpet the job-boards, use video game characters to attract targets, create clever viral video campaigns with one of the world’s top ad agencies.

So you’ve set up your Weirdly quiz, it’s bursting with your unique brand personality and you’re ready for your next employee superstar to come whizzing through the virtual door. Before Weirdly can work, those great candidates have to find you. That means, spreading your quiz link far and wide.

We get asked heaps about workplace diversity. “If you’re qualifying all candidates against an ‘ideal match’, don’t you end up recruiting a company of homogenous drones that’ll destroy your carefully crafted diversity programme in their tidal wave of sameness?”

Clay Forsberg (holder of the greatest job title ever) recently posted an article about how we should be recognising and celebrating our Weirdos. One particular quote really resonated with me:

Founding a tech start-up is insanely exciting and at times, completely terrifying. The speed, oh man. The speed things are moving is mental but you’re somehow still constantly anxious about everything taking too long.

We see great, weird questions popping up everyday by people using our system. One of these days we might be able to compile a few of these into our own list that you guys can use to inspire yourselves - no matter what side of the interview desk you're sitting.

Our first scouting trips to the USA are done and, alongside some exciting partnerships and new clients, we've brought back a few key insights for any other startup founders or entrepreneurs about to take the leap.
