If you were deriding some executives it'd be another thing. But I'd steer clear of mocking the little guy on your corporate blog.<p>I know it isn't your intention but your somewhat mocking commentary at some of those candidates may be taken in a bad way and reek elitist - neither qualities you really want to project as a founder, imo.<p>Example: <i>Computer illiteracy wasn't one of the job requirements.</i><p>A kinder way to state this would be "We really need someone who is proficient with the computer."

People are so sick of filling out insipid job application forms these days (only to never hear back anything), you can't blame someone for not taking it seriously every time. The situation is probably far worse for admin assistant jobs.<p>However, I applaud that you took the time to put together a simple project assignment to evaluate candidates and then used that as a basis for a phone screen.
