So we went through the whole hiring process. Sorry not to keep all updated. The hiring process was difficult in and of itself. We were presented with multiple good candidates, and a number of bad candidates. I guess that is inherent in the hiring process.

Since we are such a small company, we decided that we all would go through the entire hiring process — even though we were just hiring programmers. This ended up being an exceptionally lengthy and time consuming process, as I’m sure that you can imagine. As I don’t speak tech there were times in the interviews when I wouldn’t understand what was happening. That is always exciting!

Anyways…We hired two excellent people to come on as interns! We have bumped the number of employees up to 8 now. We’re growing. The interns have a significant learning curve (PERL programmers are hard to find out here) but they are smart and get things done. Those are the important aspects for us, much more than the letters.

We had to expand considerably. We had room for 6 — and that was pushing it. We spent a couple of days rearranging the office and BOOM! Now we can fit 8.

Both of our interns would have begun work by next Monday. I will continue to apprise all of the situation.
