I want to make technical recruiters better at their job. Many sourcers and recruiters don't have a technical background and find it very difficult to hire soft

  > Are there other ways we can make technical recruiters better? - list salary range for positions - emphasize tech stack - emphasize number of rounds I’ve wasted my time in the past going through the interview process only to find out the company’s budget for the position was only up to X after getting the offer; a valuable lesson I’ve learned to avoid since then of course. I also see some recruiters only talking about what the business does … leaving out the tech stack. If these points are clear and easily visible to recruiting leads they might get higher quality candidates. Just my two cents. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  I’ve also been thinking about this problem space. My approach is to help candidates build skills, demonstrate proficiency, in a loop with the recruiters. Basically, take the whole “how I learned my data science skills” into something that can be done in public. The recruiters can then see a wide range of examples, and can be better at picking up where people’s strengths and talents are. (This is focused on analytics)
