As a Technical Recruiter, I’ve spent years speaking with developers, hiring managers, and tech leaders across multiple industries.
One thing I’ve learned:
Many great candidates are missed — not because they lack skills, but because recruiters and developers often speak different languages.
Here are a few things recruiters should understand better:
✅ A GitHub profile can tell more than a CV sometimes
✅ “5+ years required” doesn’t always equal skill level
✅ Tech stacks evolve fast — learning ability matters
✅ Long hiring processes often lose top engineering talent
✅ Generic outreach messages rarely work
And for developers:
A well-written LinkedIn profile, clear project visibility, and honest communication can significantly improve opportunities.
I’m curious:
What is one thing you wish recruiters understood better about developers?
