With a focus on chips and artificial intelligence, U.K.-based Graphcore can now be considered one of Europe's hottest startups. Today, the company announced it has raised a $50 million round of funding led by Silicon Valley's Sequoia Capital, a firm not known for investing much in Europe. This follows the $60 million that Graphcore had already raised over the last 18 months. In a blog post, Graphcore cofounder Nigel Toon wrote that the company's partnership with Sequoia is an indication that it intends to remain independent as it seeks to compete in the surging AI chip market. "So over the last few weeks, Graphcore and Sequoia Capital have worked together on a scale-up business plan and on a funding plan which will allow us to grow more quickly and to support our prospective customers more deeply as we bring products to market," Toon wrote.

In a new report launched by Hays today, 'Recruitment Remodelled' examines the evolution of the recruitment industry where the traditional human-centric skills of matching candidates with organisations are now working hand-in-hand with data science, machine learning, predictive analytics and other digital tools and technologies. Alistair Cox, Hays plc CEO, says, "In my ten years as CEO of Hays, I have never seen the recruitment and staffing industry evolving as rapidly as it is today. Technology, the dynamics of the digital world, and the advent of data science and machine learning are fuelling these changes. "For business, the fundamental underlying issue of finding the best talent for their organisation hasn't changed, but what has evolved across our industry is how to manage this process in an age where technology has brought new ways of finding top-quality talent." The traditional approach to recruitment - defined by Hays as'Advertise & Apply' - has relied upon organisations promoting their vacancies across multiple channels to solicit applications from jobseekers. This long-established model is no longer enough in today's digital world as it is primarily directed at the active, rather than the passive, jobseeker community. In addition, the ease at which candidates can respond to online job advertisements has led to an unwieldy process with high volumes of responses being received, many of which prove to be unsuitable for the role. A new recruitment model has been developed and deployed by Hays - defined as'Find & Engage' - that combines the best practice recruitment techniques and established candidate relationships with the new opportunities presented by digital technology, data science and machine learning. This approach is designed to maximise the likelihood of organisations finding the best talent by enabling them to search beyond those active jobseekers, and reach deep into a much wider pool of passive candidates. Alistair added, "There has always been a real art to recruiting the best talent, built around the development of trusted relationships and an ability to assess the compatibility of a candidate for the vacancy.

Musk is pledging a groundbreaking advancement Thursday night at an event near Los Angeles and will release details on the new truck.. "This will blow your mind clear out of your skull and into an alternate dimension," Musk said Sunday in a tongue-in-cheek tweet. The race to deliver electric trucks could eventually pose economic benefits to consumers if the technology lowers the price of transportation and reduces emissions that contribute to climate change.

The FCC granted Alphabet's Project Loon, which delivers internet via balloons, an experimental license last month to help get Puerto Ricans online after Hurricane Maria decimated the island's infrastructure. While the team cautiously tweeted that it would'explore of it was possible to help,' Project Loon announced today that it has worked with AT&T and T-Mobile to successfully deliver basic internet to over 100,000 Puerto Ricans to the internet. Since turning on service, #ProjectLoon has delivered basic internet connectivity to more than 100K people in Puerto Rico. It's not a total success, which isn't to be expected after Puerto Ricans' communications infrastructure suffered so much damage. But the team was able to work with AT&T and T-Mobile to get "communication and internet activities like sending text messages and accessing information online for some people with LTE enabled phones," head of Project Loon Alastair Westgarth wrote in a blog post.
