Ask HN: What interesting trends would you like to know of from a Recruiter?
How can Recruiters make their communication more informative and beneficial to possible candidates?
...and that's really all I can think of. If they did that on a regular basis I would be far more likely to stop blocking them by default.
I, like many others here I'm sure, get at least a few recruiter solicitations per week. Almost all of them are "enterprise .NET user interface developer" or "web platform integration" (I don't even know what that means) positions.
I work in the medical device industry and all of my experience is in device control and image processing/analysis...
I would suggest (as this sounds like an "idea") that it's probably easier to scan the job ads to get most of the above.
Otherwise - more and more of the jobs seem to be networking based - recruiters find jobs for companies that have not spent time building their hiring networks.
So Recruiters could share Trends like - What's the latest skills on the rise int he Job industry? What are companies actively looking out for? Trends probable job candidates (active and passive) could use to improve their skills. Especially candidates who are not immediately looking for new work - but eventually want to.
