i appreciate your thoughtful comment, especially the part where you describe using recommendations from your existing team or network to avoid the firehose of resumes.
but then, further down, i was surprised to see the first tip about writing job ads. i mean, won't job ads pretty much turn on that firehose of resumes?
- mlthoughts2018 8y agoOnly if you post them to an application portal, a third party recruiter, or job aggregation sites. Usually you’ll still need some type of written job description for a candidate to review, and it should be concise & genuinely informative. But you should choose which candidates to share it with (e.g. on community sites, at conference recruiting fair booths, or by email sent from a referral). I didn’t mean to imply writing a job ad for purposes of widely distributing it— but I totally see that my choice of the word “ad” was a mistake. Should just be some type of infrequently shared written job summary.
