When you first saw the rubyonrails.com website, what did you read (and
what
did you skip)? What if companies could improve their webpages by getting
feedback on where people skip information because it’s dull, poorly laid
out, or confusing? Eyetools will be hosting a “hiring webinar” showing
an
eyetracking heatmap of the RubyOnRails.com homepage from when we
eye-tracked
a group of people learning about it (and, we’ll show you a number of
other
eyetracking results and interesting design tidbits).
We’re using Ruby and Rails to bring the world access to eyetracking data
quickly (within days), easily (just send us a URL to test), and
inexpensively (even small companies can afford it).
Eventually, we’re looking for full-time people, but you can start
initially
on a project and/or part-time basis – and you can work remotely. Jobs
span
the whole range: from sys-admin, to Rails programmer, to VP of
Engineering.
We’re not into sit-down interviews. Instead, the main “interview” will
be
you getting to work on a real project and getting paid to do it. (See a
nicely written example of why,
(Seth
Goodin)).
To find out more, check out one of our webinars:
- Tuesday, September 19, 9am PST / Noon EST (30 minutes)
- Wednesday, September 20, 11:30am PST / 2:30pm EST (30 minutes)
- Thursday, September 21, 2pm PST / 5pm EST (30 minutes)
Email us at [email protected] to reserve a time (we’ll reply with a
login
url/phone number). Additionally, tell us what you love doing in
Ruby/Rails,
what you wish you could learn (after all, no one knows everything!), as
well
as what you have done in the past using it.
Company Background:
Eyetools provides services and tools to do eyetracking analysis
(literally,
tracking where people look on computer screens while they surf the web
to
find and visualize trends in how text and graphic design affects how
people
look at web pages). “If you can measure it, you can improve it.”
We’re a small, California-based corporation, funded entirely by
client-revenue since 2000. Currently, we are the number one driver of
eyetracking adoption in the commercial market.
