I applied for the Tweetdeck role, and though they were talking about going through to round three, I didn't get it in the end.

They were all really great guys though, and you can tell they're in it for the love of making something useful. If you have Python, async web dev and messaging experience, I'd recommend talking to them.

Shame they're London-based. That's one part of the country I'd never, ever live again, if I had the choice. Overpriced, crime-ridden, crowded, over-hyped and self-important shit-hole.

Cambridge and Edinburgh have startup scenes as well if you want to avoid London.

Know of any promising Edinburgh startups ? I'd be very interested in getting touch with them.

Is it just me or does it seem that recruitment focused startups disproportionately tend to come out of the UK ?

(thinking about it I suspect every YC-Funded startup in this space has had British founders as well)

Some more startup jobs in London (and the rest of the UK) from my own recruitment startup:

London is very lucrative for recruiters because of the Financial Services industry. If you're regularly recruiting for FS people you get 5% of a lot of 6 figure salaries.

You're underestimating, typical recruiter fees are generally in the 20-30% range.

Interesting - I suspect the difference may be between the individual recruiter and their agency...

Ah yes, that makes sense.
