{

Fire up your browser right-away and jump on to www.interviewstreet.com/challange/. Register for our global talent hunt/ EKO-CODESPRINT scheduled on the 14th July.


We're sure you have a hundred questions in your mind right now. We will try to answer a few right away:


Do I need to have a computer science degree?
Nope (not that we have anything against a fancy degree). But you do need to be one of the best coders out there.


I am an Erlang guy. Suits you?
Sure! But most of our work is currently done in Java/ C/ C++/ PHP/ Perl. We believe that real coders are multilingual and fast learners in any case ;)


I only speak Elbonian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilbert#Elbonia). I can also do sign language. I barely translated this on some online tool. Me too? 
Unfortunately, none of us are fluent in Elbonian or sign language. We will need you to be pretty fluent in plain old English; reading, writing and speaking.


Anything else you want to bore us with?
Yes. One more thingy- we need you to be dexterous with MS Office and its likes/ clones/ substitutes.

Right. But please remember that if your friend does get selected and joins Eko, he needs to have mentioned your name on the application form (and of course, you should have 'Liked our Facebook page :)
