Finally wrote down a counterintuitive approach that I’ve been using since 2008 to find every job in my own career—without wasting countless hours applying online, sending resumes, or talking to random recruiters… Most of those jobs weren’t even posted. I’ve taught the approach to 100s of folks in tech, who’ve had similar results. Hopefully people find it useful.
Happy to share the Discover Production Engineering program—a 12-month opportunity designed to support folks interested in both software and systems engineering. If you (or someone you know) are looking for an exciting new opportunity, please apply.
That's exactly point I'm trying to make: so much of recruiting happens without "knowing how [candidates] feel".
Also, my hope is that this might encourage this person to either reconsider their career or take the time to improve. This would actually benefit both the recruiter and the recruited. ;)
Agreed. My point is that with so much time and effort spent on defining and refining culture, it's a shame that the first point of contact for a candidate might be this type of SPAMcruiting.
