recruiting ama
with taylor desseyn (solo)
- ask a recruiter for contract vs direct hire, remote status, and salary range upfront instead of waiting for them to volunteer it
- ask a recruiter if the client is an ats or vms and whether they have direct contact with the hiring manager before investing time
- keep your resume to two or three pages and load it with the specific tech stack for the job you want
- use the correct technical terminology on your resume even if the job description has it wrong, since you are the professional
- to reach someone at a company you want to join, dm an employee directly and ask for a few minutes of their time instead of cold emailing
