Hello everyone,

As someone with a background and deep passion for security, I've navigated the labyrinthine world of not only tech recruitment, but others as well, more than a few times. I've encountered a myriad of challenges that I believe many of us face but seldom discuss openly.

Generic Job Descriptions: Has anyone else noticed how many job descriptions in tech seem like they were written from a template? It's frustrating to sift through dozens of job descriptions only to find they all seem eerily similar, making it challenging to understand what a company is truly looking for.

The Never-Ending Interview Process: Multiple rounds of interviews, technical assessments, and then maybe a 'cultural fit' interview. The process can be draining and time-consuming.

I'm keen to open a discussion and hear your thoughts and experiences.

  • Have you faced similar challenges in tech recruitment?
  • How do you navigate the complexities?
  • Any tips for job seekers in tech, especially those interested in security?

Let's discuss!

Here in the USA there is apparently a glut of unemployed developers as up to 300k were let go between last November and July.

I'm typically competing with over 200 applicants, so they probably just keep interviewing until they get exactly what they want. Plus, ageism.

That sucks. But again US salaries are a whole different league.
