I read a lot of questions in this sub about how to "nail an interview" from the applicant side, but what about from the company side...

How does a company run a really great interview/recruitment/hiring process? What subtle things put you off a job advert? What kind of interview questions help you open up? What are the best/worst practical tasks you have been asked to do? Are practical tasks off putting? What questions do you want answered by the firm/team lead? Who do you want to meet on the way through? What matters most to you, beyond salary?

Context: I'm in the process of taking over the Product function at 50 person, ML platform company in the EU. I want to give us the best shot at at

A follow on from the question from a few days ago - https://www.reddit.com/r/startups/comments/e6wbf2/where_should_i_start_to_open_my_own_startup_in/

Does anyone have experience of founding an Irish Ltd company with UK Ltd subsidiary and a team distrusted across the EU/UK?

Given the current flux in UK, this is more for the flexibility in servicing customers and employing a team than tax efficiency. Also open to alternatives that will help hedge against a hard Brexit or regulatory divergence.

Halo!

Moving to Berlin from the UK in February for the long term. I will likely be freelancing for my first few months, until I decide if there's a job I like in the city.

I have several questions:

• What insurance do I need? (Health, liability, contents, travel)
• Should I choose to go private or use the government versions?
• Who should I talk to, to make a good choice?

I'm happy to read any guides, but I'd be really interested in other freelance experience!

Thank you so much, looking forward to being part of an awesome community!

Hello! As the title indicates I'm looking for some broad reading around developmental stretching. Does anyone have any recommendations or experiences?

My current understanding is that I can use developmental stretching to improve my strength and conditioning, alongside my normal cardio/strength/flexibility work. I've search online for more information but the resources seem to be a bit fragmented.

I'm most interested in:

• whether this form of stretching is more beneficial than other forms, if so in what context?
• where I should start and how I should fit it into my current work
• any predefined programmes I could adopt to start out

Any guidance much appreciated!

Hello! So as it's says in the title. I'm in my last week before hiking three peaks. We start Ben Nevis at 6am and aim to finish Snowdon at 6am.

I'm feeling physically strong. Plenty of miles in my legs and generally well kitted out.

However, yesterday I tried (and failed) to summit Pen Y Fan, a smaller peak in Wales that I'm very familiar with. The weather closed in, wind picked up and the ascent turned treacherous, so being cautious (hiking alone, really early morning, no-one around) I turned back.

Ultimately I realized that I may not be as prepared as I imagined. Does anyone have any tips/kit/suggestions for how I could better cope with this kind of situation or final prep for three pe

We've been hacking https://torrential.app as a side project and we're looking to expand its value. We'd love to interview any regular cyclists about their experiences of:

• Safety on the road - how you avoid issues and keep safe

• Security of their kit - how you deal with crime or lost property

• Comfort on their ride - insights around weather, pollen, air quality, clothing

Currently, this is a passion project, with 2 of us building it for fun. We're hoping to turn it into a business, but right now, the app is totally free and so advice can only be paid back with virtual hugs or some kind of karmic transference.

Hello, Warren here to show you our side project - Torrential

Torrential is a weather service for people who are active outdoors. It's ideal for people who regularly run/cycle/walk, in changeable weather (like where I live in the UK). Our goal is to make it easier for anyone to enjoy being active outdoors.

Torrential provides three main features currently:

• A simple email alert, that summarises the weather for two locations e.g. home/work

• A detailed hourly forecast for each location from 6 am to 9 pm for that day

• And a simple way to add a calendar reminder, so you leave at the best time

We started hacking the about 6 weeks ago and launched with a small gro

We're building www.torrential.app as a side project. This is part of our user research. Hoping it will be useful to others!

https://medium.com/torrential/researching-people-who-are-active-outdoors-torrential-app-d396212da012

TLDR:

• We surveyed 59 people in 48 hours
• 46% (27) were High Activity users (>4 sessions >40 mins p/week) - The survey could have been more focused on the problem we want to solve
• People report valuing intelligent weather alerts (validating our MVP)

Comments/crits welcome!

If you are active outdoors and have 5 minutes, PLEASE TAKE PART IN OUR NEXT SURVEY - https://goo.gl/forms/S1P9epm5t4XDyRgz1
