alecmgoon Ask HN: What problem are you close to solving and how can we help?

I want to make technical recruiters better at their job.

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?
