I’ve recently noticed a handful of companies making the shift towards a more inclusive application practice. How? By providing space on their career page for all talent to apply, regardless if a position for their skillset is open or not. Yes, keeping a door open may require some additional monitoring, but what job posting doesn’t? ✨ Best part, it doesn’t require top resources to execute: "Interested in working with us but don’t see an open opportunity for you? Give us your resume, we’d love to hear from you!" 📝 (general application included). "Don’t see a fitting open role? Join our talent community — we will be sourcing from this community for upcoming opportunities." 🌐 (general application included). Less effort, but still a valid approach: “email jobs@ to connect with us.” (here’s to hoping someone is actually monitoring this inbox!🤞). Opening up a pipeline for talent to easily approach your recruiting department seems like a no-brainer and I am excited to see this concept evolve. After all, blocking talented individuals from openly engaging with a company or team they want to work with seems outdated. 😖🚪 👏 Kudos to those that are paving the way for a more accessible process and creating space to interact with individuals they might otherwise miss out on due to timing, lack of immediate need, lack of network, etc. Great examples of companies implementing this:  Ashby Mira Greenhouse Software 💼 #TalentPipeline #InclusiveRecruitment #TalentAcquisition #RecruitmentStrategy #Hiring #Recruiting

Ever been there? Recently, I was advising a talented developer on her next career move. She finds an intriguing job listing—sounds great, and checks all the technical boxes. But then, you dig deeper, and... crickets. No reviews, no insights, just a shiny website with minimal substance. She ended up passing on the opportunity, not because they lacked skills, but because the company didn't give them enough confidence to take the leap. 🙈 This got me thinking. We expect candidates to jump through hoops—tailor their CVs, perfect their LinkedIn profiles, show up with the right attitude, and ace the interview process. But what about the other side? If you're looking to hire top-tier talent, give them confidence in your company. Quick tips: 1. Happy Team, Happy Hiring: Satisfied employees attract talent. (key) 2. Branding: Show what it means to work with you 3. Transparency Wins: Give real, valuable insights #thoughts #code2day #talentacquisition

What does this tell us? Technical skills and problem-solving are essential, but is it sustainable to overlook cultural fit and communication skills?
