Every business is continuously looking to hire people who are right for them. So are we. One key question is how do we know who is right for us from amongst the many who apply to us. Again as with any other business, we have tried to define what are the key attributes we need in our people and then devise a selection mechanism to assess people on those attributes. As a business which is heavily dependent on people, we have a significant investment on the selection side. We have a 5 stage selection process beginning with an on-line aptitude test and ending with an interview by the C.E.O. In the final interview we look for attributes like ability for systematic pursuit in a chosen area, self efficacy, analytical abilities, depth of understanding, ability to present in a structured manner, attitudes to work and work place issues and so on.

On one of our recent projects we had an issue where the Drupal site search was not working. There was a search.html file present in the home folder to handle a Google custom search page outside of Drupal.

We have created and released a new module Boost Captcha to allow static page caching of pages with forms with captcha without running into the captcha session timeout errors. By helping boost cache more pages the module will allow for better performance without compromising on spam protection.

We have released a new Drupal module to fight spam - Spam Blackhole. This is a simple module to fight automated spam submissions on Drupal sites by bots that are not manually supervised. The module requires that Javascript is enabled on the site that is running the module. The module works by replacing the form action with a dummy URL while the form is generated from Drupal and then replacing the dummy URL with the actual URL when the user clicks the form submit button.

Employees, especially freshers are usually concerned about the salary they get in hand and not really keen on deductions for ESI and PF as they do not promise immediate returns. Employers are usually not keen on providing them either as it requires time, effort and money to enforce it coupled with the fact that the employees are not keen on it in the first place. However after having implemented such a policy in Zyxware for the past two years we have come to understand its significance and the reasoning that gave birth to them which has led us to write about it.
