Jobs

here's how ATS' work (i was a recruiter before), i've used linkedin, angellist, monster, indeed, humi, and lever 

first i will start with sourcing and then candidate pipeline management

🕯️They/them. Scaled cos from 0-$300k in arr, 7-35 employees, 0-100k users. Now I make beautiful, functional, and ethically made candles at humankind.place

2/ - We gather reqs such as years of experience, specific languages/tools/technologies from our manager  
- The first step of outbound is to look at competitor's companies. Usually if you've been at a company for 2+ years and no promotion, I'll message you. If I hear about potential layoffs, I will also message you.

3/ - If there's M&A, I'll message you. You can tell from people's profiles whether they're progressing, happy etc. Doing this enables me to get folks of a similar mission and experience level. 

Where this applies to you is if you've been laid off, consider moving to a competitor.

4/ I used to have the linkedin premium recruiter plan, and the most important filters are: 
- languages, tools, technologies 
- year of graduation (can tell me overall years of work experience) 
- location (tax reasons) 
- come from similar cos

so optimize these on your linkedin profile if you are open to web2 jobs

5/ Pipeline management - What happens once I submit my resume to a job posting? 
- Due to the large amount of scam applications, recruiters will often add dealbreaker questions. It is very important that you answer these questions. Once you answer yes/no, you're sorted into a digital "fit" or "not a fit" pile.

6/ If you are in the "fit" pile, a recruiter will manually look through your resume, which only takes 5 seconds. They will either move you to another pile, which is the "interview" pile (automated email to interview) or "discard" pile (automated rejection).

7/ Your resume must match all the keywords in the job posting in order to get sorted into the interview pile. You can use a tool like https://www.tealhq.com/ to automate this work for you as you apply to jobs.

/8 For those in Web3: 
- Please only add paid jobs to your work experience, unless you've done truly exceptional volunteering and can quantify your impact. Overlapping jobs tells me that there's a potential gap in your employment.

/9 
- If you are an engineer: have great github projects
- If you are in devops: talk about writing handbooks, SOPs, managing discords or product features
- If you are in marketing: talk web2 metrics growth

1/ Sourcing: 
- Recruiters start by distributing the job description across job boards 
- While we're waiting for inbound applications, we concentrate on doing a bit of outbound. It takes about 2 weeks to get a good amount of inbound applications

It depends on how different the field is. 

If you can map the same metrics, the skills are transferable. If you can’t, it’s not transferable.

Most people do not do an exceptional amount of work in X# of years, so progression is fairly linear for most folks. Generally YOE lines up with qualifications.

Insightful as always, Sam.
How much emphasis do you find employers put on years of experience over other qualifications? 
i.e: Candidate has a transferable skillset they're highlighting for a job. They technically have the years, but it was developed in a different field.

Thank you soo much for this. I've been trying to find a job for several months. I have never had a problem like this in my career.  Now, even for the slightest thing you can be dropped from the process without any explanation, just an email no-reply. This will help to understand how the pipeline works.
