Suggested William Campbell • 3rd+ CISO | Security That Supports and Enables the Business 2d.→ + Follow New recruiting strategy: post for the position on some high visibility job board (e.g., LinkedIn) and automatically reject all applications that come through that channel, as well as any applications to the company career site. Program in a three-day delay before sending a polite rejection email, just to make it seem legit. Crazy? Like a fox, maybe. Consider: this way, the only candidates to get attention will be those resourceful and motivated enough to circumvent the "front door" application process, or those referred by a mutual, or those presented by a trusted recruiter who already knows my needs and has fully vetted the candidate not just for technical "check the box" requirements but for personality and culture fit. I'm pretty sure this would be more effective than trusting an ATS to match keywords, or tasking an "economical" low-level clerk to sift through résumés for positions that pay three or four times what he or she makes. (Might get a lot of hate mail on this one. I'm not being entirely facetious. And yes, I understand that there are hiring situations in which this would be stupid... just not the situations I deal with in my sector.) Oh, and I do have other, perhaps less nasty, ideas for how to cope with the Firehose of Applications™ problem. Maybe another post sometime. 13 22 comments

Coltin Caverhill • 3rd+ Engineering Manager at Yelp 4d. • + Follow Managers, be very careful what you say to your engineers! I commented in a slack thread. It was a simple comment of "I wish we had feature X". I thought I was being fun. I thought it would get emoji responses and we would move on. The engineers solved it. Do you know how much we pay Software Engineers!? I did not mean for them to work on this thing and solve my issue. But they wanted to make things better, and if the manager points out an issue, they felt like it should be solved. This was not a big deal, and not a ton of time was spent, but it was a good reminder for me that I am not an engineer, I am a manager. And while that title is mostly meaningless to me, it means something to others. What I say magically holds more gravity not because of the merit of the statement, because of the title I hold. By not being mindful about what I share in our public channels, I led my team to spend time on the wrong thing. CO 2,345 297 comments • 52 reposts

OPENTOWORK Jason Roeder. 3rd+ Copywriter/Comedy Writer/Editor/... 1w. + Follow I immediately remove my shoes and socks upon entering any interview. Why do I do this? If they say nothing, I know they will not enforce even the most fundamental dress code. I cannot work in such chaos. If they tell me to put them back on, I know conformity reigns in this workplace, and my creativity will suffer. I cannot work there. If they tell me to put one sock and shoe on, I know they value balance and compromise. Only then will I work there.
