This is every
commissioning editor’s
dream. I need a better
way to evaluate writers
before hiring them.
VICE is now producing
5x as many episodes a
year & needs access to
local fixers all over the
globe.
"HackPack was an instantaneous and
landslide of a success in my hunt for
employees at our office. In less than one
week, I found three candidates, one of which
has already begun working full-time."
Igor Serebryany, Editor
"I spent weeks looking for a solid
Moscow-based business
reporter without success.
HackPack found the perfect
candidate in just a few days."
