#Recruiters, #HiringManagers, and people generally in the #SoftwareEngineering world: What's the missing piece you are looking for in your next hire? What's an invaluable skill that you'd like to see more of in applicants? What's a process or philosophy you'd like to introduce into the workplace? What's a book you think everyone should read? What's a spark that made you go "Yes! I want more of that here," when you interviewed a candidate? Along with others, my role at Focused Labs was eliminated this week. A day that started with hurt and confusion ended in a reminder of what I loved about my role to begin with: I worked with some fantastic people who have been nothing short of supportive and made my job meaningful. On my best days, I worked because I love what I do. On my worst days, I worked because I cared about the people I worked with. Now, I've got all this time on my hands to approach my career with fresh eyes and invest that care in something new. As sad as I am saying goodbye to my previous role, I am excited about many things: new conversations, new projects, and a whole world of technical challenges! So what are you looking for someone to bring to the table?

⭐ A Quality Experience ⭐ Given the state of the market and after reading different posts here on LI, I wanted to share a positive anecdote about an experience I had with a small recruiting team earlier this year that not only thoroughly impressed me but also made them stand out versus most other organizations (big, small, brand-name, startup, tech, non-tech, etc.). I applied for a role with an early stage start-up that is doing something very exciting in its own space. No doubt this role and company is receiving a lot of interest for obvious reasons. I reached out with inMails to three individuals in the organization (two within recruiting) to introduce myself. For most processes this is where the communication ends. Within days, I heard back from one of the recruiters (we'll call her: "Alyssa") asking if I'd like to jump on a call to answer any questions that morning. She took the time out of her schedule to reply to me and also answer questions regarding: culture, what she knew of the role, timing, etc. Alyssa said she knew how tough the market was and wanted to ensure I got a response. She wanted to do her part to ensure Recruiters maintained a positive reputation, along with that of her company. The role was not even one she managed directly. A day later, the second recruiter reached out to me to offer similar response and though we did not speak on the phone he was happy to share what information he did have about the role. My interest increased even more at this point. ❗ THAT is what quality candidate experience looks like. That is what winning looks like. And before anyone scoffs at the ability to do this at scale, there are absolutely ways to do this. Message me for ideas. 💡 👏 👏 Deep respect and thanks goes out to this team and those just like them. You know who are! More wins vs the competition are coming your way. #candidateexperience #candidateengagement #hiring #2023jobs #talentacquisition

3 tech talent mistakes you can't afford ☝️ These are the real reasons why talented tech specialists are slipping through your fingers: 1️⃣ Understaffed Team When your company lacks important players, your existing team members take on more responsibilities and have to overwork. That leads to increased stress and burnout as a result. 2️⃣ Inflated Job Requirements Shift your focus towards practical experience and a number of commercial projects rather than a number of years candidates spent at university studying IT Science. 3️⃣ Too Slow Hiring Process Experienced tech pros would rather go for a company that has fewer rounds of interviews, gives fast feedback, and doesn't need a couple of weeks to make a hiring decision. There's a way out: allow IT staffing professionals to scale your team more efficiently. DM us for more details. #OutstaffYourTeam #itstaffing #techhiring

In a tech hiring landscape that's more competitive than ever, there is one critical differentiator that many candidates overlook: 👉 Soft skills. Here are 5 ways to leverage them to stand out in the hiring process: 1️⃣ Complete LinkedIn Profile: Fill out all sections with keywords and tech stacks to be more searchable by recruiters. 2️⃣ First Call Preparedness: Research the role and company beforehand and be ready to discuss relevant experience. 3️⃣ Tailored Answers: Customize pre-screening responses to align closely with the role you're applying for. 4️⃣ Leadership: Showcase instances where you took initiative, regardless of your job title. 5️⃣ Elevator Pitch: Prepare a concise, impactful summary of your skills and experience. The data backs it up — according to LinkedIn's 2022 Global Talent Trends report, 91% of talent professionals view soft skills as equally or more important than hard skills. (At Educative, Inc., this is a big part of our philosophy when it comes to hiring). 💬 How do you weigh soft skills relative to technical skills? How do you work on your soft skills? #SoftSkills #CareerDevelopment #TechJobs #JobMarket2024 #CompetitiveEdge

Are you struggling to stand out in the competitive tech market? As a tech recruiter, I can tell you that just laying out your work experience is not enough to land you the job. Hiring managers want to see more. Here are some things that can help you stand out: • Personality: show what makes you tick, and what makes you unique. This helps recruiters and hiring managers ensure cultural compatibility. • Recommendations: a key aspect of any good profile! Snapshots of what it's like to work with you from past colleagues or project members validate your credentials. • Initiative/Ownership: showcase your work ownership in personal projects. Recruiters and hiring managers check things like GitHub to see how active you are, demonstrating how fast you can pick things up. • Skills Section: highlight your technical strengths, not just what you've been exposed to. Keep it relevant. • Integrity: honesty is key. Don't sell a false promise that you can't deliver. If you can't fully do something yet, just say what you're doing to bridge the gap. These are just a few pieces of the puzzle, but taking them on board will help you stand out in the ever-changing tech industry. #careertips #careeradvice #candidatetips #candidateadvice #candidates #recruitment #recruiter #recruiterlife #sales #saleslife #techtips
