Re: Algorithms that sit behind closed doors

That sounds like 'Closed Source' to me:-(

Not at all. I work for a company that uses open source software, but the algorithms I write determine weather or not you get that all important first interview for a job.

If I balls this up I can totally fuck up your career.

PS you as the person trying to get the job have no access to the code or the rules that determine weather you are selected or rejected.
