Rethinking Recruiting: Effective Hiring Practices to Close the Skills Gap
summary
A hiring manager rewrites an entry‑level posting, uses Grammarly and Textio plus a Gender Decoder, posts beyond LinkedIn and the result goes viral: ~20,000 LinkedIn views, ~170,000 Twitter impressions, an 11,000‑view TikTok and 176 applications in a week (eventually ~400 total), forcing recruiters to close the role. The posting emphasizes core competencies, removes degree/cert barriers, compensates lengthy tests, and feeds a two‑year Cybersecurity Development Program that rotates hires so reskilled career‑changers actually onboard and progress.
