Many sourcers and recruiters don't have a technical background and find it very difficult to hire software engineers, especially in the current labor market which is very tight.
I'm starting off simple: writing recruiting guides from a software engineer's perspective that are easy to understand.
Are there other ways we can make technical recruiters better?
- list salary range for positions
- emphasize tech stack
- emphasize number of rounds
I’ve wasted my time in the past going through the interview process only to find out the company’s budget for the position was only up to X after getting the offer; a valuable lesson I’ve learned to avoid since then of course.
I also see some recruiters only talking about what the business does … leaving out the tech stack.
If these points are clear and easily visible to recruiting leads they might get higher quality candidates.
Just my two cents. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Basically, take the whole “how I learned my data science skills” into something that can be done in public.
The recruiters can then see a wide range of examples, and can be better at picking up where people’s strengths and talents are.
