The Do’s and Donts of Recruiting Top Tech Talent
Summary
Skilled tech professionals have choices, and they can typically remain in their current position until they find a new opportunity that is precisely what they want. So are family-oriented programs and policies, like generous maternity and paternity leave, childcare cost assistance, and similar offerings. For example, while remote work programs are important to tech professionals, you don’t want to spend too much time discussing it in your ad if every other employer is focusing on it. Instead, you might want to briefly mention it’s available but concentrate on showcasing another coveted benefit that isn’t being widely discussed, like student loan payment assistance of continuing education reimbursement. Companies often believe that perks like on-site gyms, hardware choice, preferred job titles, swag, and similar offerings are enticing to candidates.
