This week I chat with a veteran of the mobile development trade on iOS who's plied his trade for over a decade, François-Olivier Leblanc. Frank, as I like to call him, shares with us some gnarly tales from the trenches of recruitment, but from a candidate's point of view, while also expounding on the myriad ways in which Tech can help us make the world a better place for all in the end.
