In the evolving world of tech hiring, traditional pathways are being disrupted. After nearly a decade of seamless opportunities, I’ve noticed significant shifts that raise questions for both candidates and employers.
Key Observations:
- Increased Competition: The surge in AI-assisted applications blurs the line between genuine and fabricated experiences.
- Screening Challenges: Resumes optimized for ATS often overshadow genuine talent, penalizing those who could excel in face-to-face evaluations.
- Mismatch in Recruitment: Screening frequently falls to individuals lacking hands-on development experience, emphasizing keywords over authentic problem-solving skills.
- Generalist Overuse: Many roles in software companies are filled by individuals without deep insights into development cycles, unlike models in professional sports where ex-players guide future talent.
