A recruiter sent me a resume and asked if I wanted the person's contact info. The email header said that any communication with the candidate needed to be initiated through them. We decided to interview him and let recruiter know. We liked the person and made an informal offer. How should we handle this? I don't think we have any legal obligation to pay anything since I never agreed to anything, but is there an ethical obligation and how should the fee be arrived at?

Has anyone tried "burst" mobile advertising on iPhone/iPad? How did it work out? Any recommendations for how to decide whether to go for it or strategy?

Thanks!

Steve Blank describes a Customer Discovery methodology that starts with a Product Hypothesis and then tests and refines it. But what if you aren't at step #1 yet? What are some good ways to generate hypotheses?

Thanks!
