silltestingThe Lansdowne never seems to disappoint. There's nothing better than talking startup, having some beers and live band karaoke. I was just disappointed they took away the $5 'get off the stage' bucket. Apparently people can't handle a little Simon Cowell criticism.

Chris and Boris were on the show this week with their startup SkillTesting. As two developers who consistently faced problems validating potential hires' technical abilities they decided to be entrepreneurs and take action. SkillTesting is a platform that allows businesses to vet the technical abilities of potential hires in order weed out those who would not be a good fit for the job.

On this week's panel we had:

Justin Cannon: Founder of Lingt. We help you learn languages on the web.

Wells Riley: I design experiences.

Tim Yandel: Technology enthusiast, recruiter, obsessive tweeter

Check out the show below...

We're back next week at Boston University so stay tuned for the details and we hope to see you on Thursday!
