I completely agree with the title of this post, and agree with most of the points, but this problem is a lot bigger than breaking down cliques and social barriers, and developing mechanisms to get people experience. The problem is that a bad hire is too expensive. What we need is a way to make it less expensive so hiring managers can take more risks. I get a hundred emails a week from tech companies and head hunters who found some of my skills in a query in some database. I've sent resumes, had phone interviews, and taken technical tests. But maybe 1 in 10,000 recruiter emails leads to a situation in which I feel a potential employer understands how "talented" I am. Everything from skillset databases to bad recruiters, to arcane, useless technical interview questions makes me think we're doing this all wrong. How many good jobs have good workers missed out on because everyone is so afraid of hiring the wrong person?
