Smart people are everywhere, in small percentages - they can learn to do most things.
I think part of the problem is, recruiters are (on average) less smart than greedy, and there's a layer of them before you even get to HR.
Then you get to HR, and they're generally more concerned with ticking skill boxes than hiring for intelligence (despite the fact that smart people can learn this shit on the job).
- BlargMcLarg 4y agoOf course that's the problem. It's like they don't even want to understand what things people are expected to learn in a single semester of CS, far more difficult than your average CRUD job. The demand side is also completely unwilling to admit the problem might be them making horrible strategic choices for the long term health of both their own company and the job market.

- fendy3002 4y agoProblem is when a good developer meet a good company, both are essentially erased from job market, demand and supply side. That leave us with mostly less than good job openings and less than good pool talents, just a little part of good talents and openings. So what the recruiters got in hand usually are, less than good openings and talents.
