I have. cold emailing, voice mails, and texts (not all at once) haven't been very effective. It's lead to one in-person conversation so far.
I'm also working through my network for direct introductions (those work well). Those efforts just aren't scaling well and I need to get this role filled quickly.

Sometimes reasons for not applying may be more prosaic. (In my case, for example, though I recently started looking for work, I am not in a position to relocate outside the Northeast). Best of luck with your candidate sourcing!)
- wilbo 10y agoThanks! I just posted to Women Who Code's job board. The listing will only allow you to put your company name, the title, technologies, 141 characters of job description, and yes/no on lots of different benefits. I'm hoping that will yield some more female candidates (although I'm a bit concerned that the only benefit I could list right now is paid vacation--equity and relocation weren't even options to select, but I do offer those!). Good luck with your job search!
