At this point, it's as if a lot of company have stopped accepting applicants except via LinkedIn. They find you, instead of you find them.

- ryguytilidie 13y agoRecruiter here. Would you rather have an inbox with 2000 unqualified resumes or just go find qualified people yourself?
- fredoliveira 13y agoIt would be interesting to hear first hand what your process looks like, and why you might find Linkedin to be a better fit as opposed to something like SO (which obviously I'm not sure you do).
- jvoorhis 13y agoThe parent wasn't apologizing for LinkedIn so much as advocating for an active recruiting strategy rather than a passive one. If I were a recruiter mercenary, I'd look use both.
- nitrogen 13y agoRecruiters might use LinkedIn because there are lots of good programmers whose community participation does not occur on Stack Overflow, but still have LinkedIn profiles.
- ryguytilidie 13y agoSorry if I was unclear. I was responding specifically to "They find you, instead of you find them." I use SO and Github quite a bit, but my point was simply that I'd MUCH rather find someone myself than just wait for resumes to come in, as the resumes that come in are often not very good.
