It turns out your favorite video game of 1994 can be a pretty useful hiring tool. Go figure.Every new small business hits the scene like a rebellious teenager. They’re young, they’re proud and they’re full of energy. They know what they can do (and just wait till the world finds out). So why do so many of these trailblazing…See More

Alasdair Murray commented on Eric Gaydos's blog post '3 Awesome Examples of Job Descriptions'"I used to head up a team in an ad agency that looked after the advertising account of one of the largest recruitment consultancies in the world. We had 5 people working in that team and the client spent £1.5m a year on their recruitment…"
Valentino Martinez commented on Eric Gaydos's blog post 'Why the Tech Industry Loves to Hire College Dropouts'"Eric,
This "curious phenomenon" you mention is more the exception then the rule. However, when it does happen it is because the hiring manager either advertises that a degree is not required or overrules the requirement of a…"
Tiffany Branch commented on Eric Gaydos's blog post '3 Awesome Examples of Job Descriptions'"I agree with Daniel. Since the rise of the ATS, I really don't see how it has helped me when it comes to actually recruiting talent. the only thing I use it for is running reports and sending out mass emails to candidates. Other than that, I…"
Daniel F Ridge commented on Eric Gaydos's blog post '3 Awesome Examples of Job Descriptions'"In 99.9% of the cases you would have to say No because there is no sell, no motive to respond at all other than the fact that from the candidates perspective they see a company with an opening and are saying to themselves "even if I…"
Tiffany Branch commented on Eric Gaydos's blog post '3 Awesome Examples of Job Descriptions'"To Alasdair's point about enhanced messaging, etc. I do think some of it has to do with the company as well. I have worked for very prominent, branded companies and we got bombarded with resumes whether we posted or not. Clearly,…"
Alasdair Murray commented on Eric Gaydos's blog post '3 Awesome Examples of Job Descriptions'"In the past, when everything was print based, recruiters actually made more of an effort. It's only in the last, what, 15 or so years that it has become easier and easier for recruiters to be lazy and just cut & paste a bland job…"
Christopher Perez commented on Eric Gaydos's blog post '3 Awesome Examples of Job Descriptions'"We don't always know the outcome that we'll get when we push the envelope beyond the status quo. The innovations that result may be completely unanticipated and may have gone undiscovered if we hadn't experimented. That's the…"
Alasdair Murray commented on Eric Gaydos's blog post '3 Awesome Examples of Job Descriptions'"Of course it matters to the audience. Would you buy a car from someone who just posted a bland specification online? Would you book a holiday or buy many of the products you see advertised every day on tv, in posters in the street etc. if the seller…"
Tiffany Branch commented on Eric Gaydos's blog post '3 Awesome Examples of Job Descriptions'"No, it's not just people looking for work. When I reach out to the passive candidate and they say "send me a description," I've never had anyone turn me down because of a "stale" or "boring" description.
Even…"
Daniel F Ridge commented on Eric Gaydos's blog post '3 Awesome Examples of Job Descriptions'"But you are not just going after people who are "looking for work" If you believe what most companies say that they are looking for the "best talent" for their positions then writing and posting job ads that suck (JATS) and just…"
Sarah Leverich commented on Eric Gaydos's blog post 'Why the Tech Industry Loves to Hire College Dropouts'"This is a topic of discussion in my household a lot. I am a recruiter and my husband a computer programmer. He never finished college. He taught himself all his skills. His nephew, now studying programming in college,…"

Posted on August 16, 2012 at 11:00am 2 Comments 0 Likes
It might be the most curious phenomenon in the recruiting world: why do tech companies make room in their employee selection process for college dropouts? Instead of trawling Ivy League schools for the next generation of programmers and developers, some of America’s most profitable tech companies aim much, much lower. But is that really what they’re doing?
To shed some light on the subject, we decided to ask several tech CEOs…

If your company is struggling to find new talent, is it possible that your job descriptions could be to blame? It’s a question worth asking, because your “now hiring” advertisements determine, in part, just who applies for your position. Craft your ads the right way and you’ll capture the attention of talented innovators.
Write a generic post, on the other hand, and you may as well head to the nearest street corner and shout, “Who wants a job!” If you’re…
