More, more, more

The slow news offering, Tortoise, seems confident enough about its future to keep hiring. In the past month, it's secured the services of Alexi Mostrous from The Times, and Basia Cummings, from HuffPost. Also at their Eastcastle St, W1, HQ is Eleanor Scharer, billed as "Partners and Programming". Eleanor followed James Harding from The Times to the BBC.

And there's more to come.

We are looking for an engagement editor for @Tortoise - DM me for a job description. It's a brilliant role for someone who wants to do social media differently #journojobs
