Best Practices for World-class Recruitment
summary
Panel argues hiring starts internal: companies look internally first before headhunting, with only around 20–28% of recruiters prioritizing internal candidates in some surveys. Job ads must be a sales pitch—drop arbitrary years of experience and drop the desirables to avoid losing women and diverse candidates (men apply at ~70% fit vs women at ~100%). Use LinkedIn, referrals outside your network, Discord/jobs listings, and give timely feedback; remote work grows but requires specific self‑management skills.
