<div dir="ltr"><div style="color:rgb(80,0,80);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Hello everyone, very glad to join this group, I am the founder of <a href="http://www.assessup.com/" target="_blank">www.AssessUp.com</a>, the first objective platform for detecting and promoting talented professionals.<br>
</div><div style="color:rgb(80,0,80);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(80,0,80);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal">Previously a structured derivatives trader for 7 years, I spent the last two years coding full-time the Alpha version in RoR (you can take off 6 months losing my time with Drupal and another 6 months learning RoR and this means there is one year of development on the current version).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">This has been a one-man project for some time, and now that the first round of seed funding is being raised I want to partner with a strong, technical full stack RoR developer who would work full-time on the project and help me in transforming the Alpha version into a good Beta version to be launched in the first semester of 2015 (followed by an API and SaaS for medium-sized firms in the second half of 2015). In parallel, a commercial profile is going to join and bring corporate clients on board (I will focus on this part too).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Quick job spec:</p><p class="MsoNormal">Rails 4, Git and Heroku, Resque/Redis, Tests, Omniauth, AJAX forms, JQuery Mobile, Design and UX.</p><p class="MsoNormal">At ease to juggle with multiple features and algorithms: tags, crowdsourced questions, points, levels, reputation, similarity between users, encryption (some of our user's data is hidden from us).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Experience scaling a website, developing job boards / corporate HR systems, managing more junior profiles and contractors would be a plus. </p><p class="MsoNormal">The focus until the end of this Year will be on design and UX, job board, payment systems.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">This is an ambitious project, really disruptive if that still means something. Revenues are B2C & B2B.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt">
