The question Recruitment candidates never ask (but probably should)

I'm been thinking a lot about technology recently. Those who know me know that I have no interest in zapping goblins online or insulting the mothers of teenage Koreans playing COD. Instead, it's mostly because there's some exciting news coming out of this office shortly, but alas if I told…
