Deadline: 5:00 PM EST - 7 October
Query:
We're looking for hiring managers who are able to speak about
hiring discrimination. The scope of our article is decoding
whether a remote-first environment helps eliminate hiring bias,
or if being forced to hire remotely during the pandemic is
actually beneficial to diversity.
*Please read the requirements before responding.*
This article will be for Dice Insights, a blog focused on (and
dedicated to) technology professionals. You will be providing
commentary to a large, responsive readership composed entirely
of technologists. Developers, engineers, c-suite execs, and
project managers all read Dice Insights daily.
The posts will be heavily guided by SEO best practices, and
engineered to rank highly with routine refreshes to keep them on
page one.
Requirements:
We are looking for hiring managers and recruiters who can
discuss bias in tech hiring, and how the remote work environment
affects it. As people still look for work, most employers have
begun remote interviews, and we'd like to know if this helps
avoid bias in hiring.
Is your company hiring a diverse workforce during the pandemic?
Do you think remote work helps or hurts with bias in hiring?
We want to hear from you! Please respond with your take on how
remote interviewing and work affects bias in tech hiring. Be
sure to discuss thoroughly; our audience needs context, not a
one-liner about dressing the part!
Please also send us a link to your LinkedIn profile so we can
include it in our article.
We also ask that you be available for follow-up questions,
should we have any. We look forward to hearing from you!

Query:
I am working on a story for SearchERP looking at "The disruptive
impact of COVID-19 on warehouse automation." In theory
warehouses could improve throughput and safety with better
automation, but many initiatives may stall over the next year
according to some experts. This feature explores what's happened
in the warehouse automation market, and gets the scoop from
warehouse leaders to find out what negatives and positives have
occurred and what the future holds. I am looking for experts
that can weigh in on the following: How has COVID-19 affected
warehouse automation?
In what ways has COVID-19 slowed down or adversely affected
warehouse automation efforts?
In what ways has it accelerated the drive towards more
automation and how has this worked out in practice?
What does the future hold for warehouse automation in general in
the aftermath of the pandemic?
Thanks in advance, George

Good afternoon, I'm currently writing a story about the safety
of the contactless payments and some say they are not a

cybersecurity of the contactless payments.
Requirements:
I need a comment of one or two paragraphs, 4-5 sentences would
actually do. I just need the comment not to be too technical. In
