how to improve the hiring process w/ nate taylor
guest: nate taylor, software engineering director at pluralsight
- write resume bullets that explain the problem you solved, not just the tech stack or process you used
- a resume with a few sentences of context can tell a hiring manager more than ten generic bullet points
- employment gaps are not a dealbreaker if your total experience still shows you can do the job
- long interview processes with too many touch points can cause good candidates to drop out on their own
- before hiring, weigh the time to find a perfect fit against the time it takes to ramp up someone less experienced
