"A significant improvement on the way most companies go about identifying talent. I'd make a point of remembering Meetup.com as a personal and professional resource. You dared to be human and showed some respect for candidates that are in various stages of questioning and insecurity. Granted you aren't here to be our career counselors, but you manage to supply some warmth to what is a cold, cruel system from a job seekers POV. Thank you. "

"Linda and Erin, I commend you both for making this happen. It must take a ton of effort to pull a gathering like this together every month. The group helps prospective Meetup employees get a better sense of the company, and no doubt helps you better assess your prospectives. Your Working@Meetup success stories are encouraging, and I hope they help inspire you to continue the good work! Thanks for a great introduction to Meetup!"

"I thought it was a great way to meet potential job candidates. It was also a good way for those same candidates to meet some of the employees, ask questions and get a 'feel' for meetup. I think that this working@meetup event is as innovative as meetup itself. It may become the way other companies start their interview process!"
