I'm not sure why the title of the posting was changed. The title of the article is "Technical Recruiting is Broken".

  Personally, I found the (more specific) current title very helpful in deciding to click through. "Technical Recruiting is Broken" is awfully vague -- not to mention that I'm pretty sure I've seen blog posts with that title before -- and (for what it's worth) I would have continued scrolling right past it. You have a distinct, concrete facet of recruiting that you're talking about -- which is great! -- and the current HN title accurately reflects that.

    "Technical Recruiting is Broken" is very click-baity IMO, as the "is broken" bon mot has become rather popular and reveals absolutely nothing about what the article is about.

      True - perhaps my overly simplistic title was not the best choice. Well, thanks to the mods for rephrasing it.
