recruiter specialization w/jonah dimeo
guest: jonah dimeo, cyber security recruiter at vaco (morgan franklin), charlotte
- ask a recruiter directly if they specialize in your field before working with them on your search
- interview the recruiter as much as they interview you to see if they actually understand your tech stack
- check a recruiter's linkedin connections to see if most are in your field, that signals real specialization
- if you're a junior developer, ask recruiters what skills show up on placed candidates' resumes that you're missing
- aim to work with a recruiter who has been at the same company and in your local market for at least two years
