Yuku is Hiring!

Yes, their latest CEO Update – back to being written using WordPress as usual - lists a number of vacancies for various positions, but mainly for “rocket scientists” (you’ll need to click through to see this). And better still, they’re offering a bounty for people getting developers to fill those positions. Smacks of desperation to me…
It seems they’ve realised they haven’t got a clue and need to hire some “brilliant” developers – presumably this might augment the team rather than replacing people who aren’t “brilliant” – and I expect this may have come about from Labatt making promises about the product that his developers can’t deliver? I could be wrong of course.
Interesting is his description of ezboard as “a re-starting start-up”. Maybe they found some loose change down the back of a sofa?

[...] Of course, given that ezboard, Inc.’s CEO apparently reads this Blog (or at least someone claiming to be him and using the same IP address bank as our records indicate), Rob Labatt might choose to ’set the record straight’ by commenting here… [...]

[...] Regular readers – yeah, right – might remember this post where I mentioned the ezboard CEO WordPress Blog entry where Labatt makes reference to a subset of the the employment opportunities at ezboard / Yuku. [...]

[...] It’s been over a month since you (or someone from your local area purporting to be you) commented here in my WordPress Blog suggesting you’d like to give me a better understanding of what you’re trying to achieve with Yuku. I invited you to comment on any of the posts I make here and initiate a conversation. [...]

Hi Richard,
I’d be interested in talking with you about what we are doing at ezboard and Yuku. Your opinion of what we are doing is interesting and I am sure that, given the opportuniity to talk with your directly, you will have a better understanding of what we are doing to deliver a better message board experience.
I am OK if you don’t want to talk with me, but I thought I’d reach out here to offer you the opportunity.

Hi Rob,
Feel free to put across ezboard’s view on what’s happening and what you’re doing with Yuku; I’m sure any readers would benefit from this.
I know I would as it doesn’t seem clear to me which direction you’re moving towards with Yuku.

Actually, I’ve just re-read your comment: it looks like you’re suggesting a one-to-one dialogue (by ‘phone or in person)?
I’m not sure that’s do-able given the time difference and I doubt ezboard, Inc. would fly me out to San Francisco for a meeting (I wouldn’t say no…).
So feel free to e-mail me – reply here and I’ll send you an e-mail with a direct e-mail address – or comment on the entries here and we can intiate a dialogue that way.
