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."
