Bending Spoons only hired 0.04% from its 800,000 job applications last year—its CEO says …

Bending Spoons received 800,000 job applications last year, and only hired 286 of the candidates. And the $21 billion company—which owns digital businesses including Eventbrite, Vimeo, and AOL—says competition has only been ramping up in recent years.  Tens of thousands make it through the first round alone, and its CEO, Luca Ferrari, says the process ahead is unlike many other hiring playbooks.  "If people looked under the hood at how we do this, they would think we're crazy," Ferrari recently told the WSJ . "Hopefully in a good way."  The 60,000 candidates who made it through the first round of screening sat through tests that analyzed their reasoning, judgement, and learning speed. This is followed by an interview—and then Bending Spoons used hiring algorithms to run an analysis on how the talent scored against both quantitative, and qualitative characteristics. And less than 9% of those who make it to the interview stage end up receiving an offer.  "A run-of-the-mill interview is almost entirely non-predictive, like tossing a coin," Ferrari told the WSJ. "It's basically completely useless." Once the interviews are wrapped, scores are delivered, references are verified, Bending Spoons finally chooses who to hire.  And it equates to an acceptance

The Batman 2 Release Date Moves to 2028, First Footage of Pattinson – Variety

Matt Reeves’ “The Batman Part II” is being delayed once again and will now open in theaters on Feb. 18, 2028. That release date is nearly six years after the March 2022 opening of “The Batman.” Reeves announced the new opening date on Vimeo accompanied by the first camera test footage of Robert Pattinson’s return as the Dark Knight. Joining Pattinson in the long-delayed sequel are Scarlett Johansson and Sebastian Stan, plus “Game of Thrones” actor Charles Dance, Brian Tyree Henry and Sebastian Koch. Reeves co-wrote the sequel’s screenplay with Mattson Tomlin. Plot details remain under wraps, as do the roles being played by the film’s supporting cast. “The Batman Part II” was originally supposed to open Oct. 2, 2026, before Warner Bros. delayed it to Oct. 1, 2027. Moving the film to 2028 will give Reeves additional time in post-production. DC Studios co-chief James Gunn defended the first release delay by explaining how it’s “fairly common” for big-budget titles to have lengthy gaps before a sequel is released. Popular on Variety “To be fair, a 5-year gap or more is fairly common in sequels,” Gunn wrote on Threads at the time. “7 years between ‘Alien’ and ‘Aliens.’ 14 years

Bendingspoon made its debut on the Nasdaq market on the 1st (local time). Bloomberg There are brands that once dominated the Internet world but disappeared into memory due to competition with big tech. AOL, the epitome of early web surfing, EverNote, an essential memo app for office workers around the world, and Vimeo, a video platform that was a playground for creators.

And it appeared on the Nasdaq market this week and surprised the world by popping a huge jackpot worth 39 trillion won at once. It is Bending Spoons, a unique software portfolio company from Milan, Italy. ◆Overcoming the failure to start a business, he tried again, making his all-time Nasdaq debut BENDINGPUNS, July 1 (Reuters) - Shares of BENDINGPUNS, which debuted on the U.S. Nasdaq market, have exploded since its first day of listing.
