A few weeks ago I spoke with a CTO that had been looking for an Embedded Software Engineer for 4 months. 🧐 They had tried to advertise the position on multiple channels -> 100+ applications -> 3 interviews -> 0 hires. 😶 They had tried to work with three recruitment agencies -> 13 CVs received -> 3 interviews -> 0 hires. 😑 Yesterday afternoon the only candidate I submitted, was hired. 😶🌫️ What was the difference? A 30 minutes long scheduled and prepared discovery meeting vs "I don't have time for a call" given to the other agencies. ✅ After the meeting, I understood the company, their mission, their culture and what type of candidate would fit perfectly in their team. 😊 This allowed me to present the company as if it was my own, while the other agencies only knew what keywords to put into LinkedIn recruiter. 😎 If you "spray and pray" your vacancy to recruiters, they will "spray and pray" it to the market and will then "spray and pray" you with irrelevant or mediocre CVs. 😑 Minimising communication will not save you any time. ✅ Instead, choose a niche recruiter specialised in what you're hiring for -> set up a discovery call -> and be positively surprised. In every industry in the world, customers try to maximise value and minimise time wasted for the money they spend. 👇 In recruitment, customers try to minimise value and maximise time wasted for the money they spend. Why? 😶😶 #recruitment #embedded #embeddedsoftware #embeddedsystems #embeddedjobs #talentacquisition #hiring #techology

Technical assignments in SW engineering recruitment are always a hot topic. Yes or no, necessary or not, remains a million-dollar question. For one of my clients, though, it's non-negotiable. They require a fairly extensive task in the recruitment process. The downside? We see a significant candidate drop-out rate. So they came up with an interesting solution: pay candidates for the time and effort they put into the assignment. Now I'd like to hear from all the SW devs and similar profiles out there: 👉 𝗜𝗳 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝟲-𝟴 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘁? 𝗔) Absolutely, I'd most likely finish it. 𝗕) It might make a difference. 𝗖) It wouldn't affect my decision. 𝗗) I'd still prefer not to do a technical assignment. Help us make this process work for both parties. Cast your vote and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments! Thank you! PS. Like what you see?
