What I've Learned from the 16 Engineers who Turned Down Job Offers at Our Startup
Outstanding post from Kapwing CEO Julia Enthoven who shares learnings on how to better close candidates after having seen 16 job offers turned down. Some of the best writing on recruiting is coming from the people who are non-specialists at it - this one is a must read folks. H/T to brainfooder Denys Dinkevych for the share.

5 Tips To Increase Applicant Flow In Job Ads
Candidate shortage has suddenly become the No1 priority for almost every recruiter I speak to. I wrote this twitter thread, which condenses AppCast’s excellent white paper on how to increase job ad applicant flow. There are 5 do-it-today tips which you can immediately implement. Check it out here. Also, follow my twitter account, I will be doing more threading from now on.

What Happens When Your Office Has Changed For The Worse?
What Happens When Your Office Has Changed For The Worse?
those who are eager to return are likely to find themselves disappointed when the things they miss most – quick chats with colleagues, big brainstorming sessions, team solidarity and socialising – are still not happening.
It’s basically a bad idea to use nostalgia as a basis for policy. Excellent piece by the BBC, who’s ‘Worklife’ series is consistently good. Have a read

IBM Watson News Explorer
None of us have direct access to reality - the best we can do is ensure we have an understanding of the political objectives of those who create the news for us, and - crucially - to have access to as wide a range of alternative news channels as possible. IBM Watson to the rescue then with this superb aggregator. How to apply to recruiting? I think company search is pretty good way to get engaging content to share to your network.

Automation and the Future of Young Workers: Evidence from Telephone Operation in the Early 20th Century
Automation and the Future of Young Workers: Evidence from Telephone Operation in the Early 20th Century
Fascinating research on the impact of an earlier era of tech induced unemployment and labour reallocation. Bottom line? Younger workers quickly re-skilled to other roles, whilst older workers suffered permanent reduction in income and opportunity. Long read but summary is accessible and plenty of food for thought.

Remote's Public Handbook
Remote's Public Handbook
Remote - perhaps the most perfectly positioned HR company for the post pandemic world - has published their internal handbook - culture, hiring, communication, code of conduct, business ops - it’s all there, for public view. Valuable for three reasons - 1) insight on how remote first organisations operate, 2) direct inspiration on a number of relevant areas and 3) great EB for candidates.

Eardrum Gets Creative In Competitive Job Market
The crazy demand for candidates is accelerating innovation and creativity, as old techniques seem exhausted and ineffective. How about audio only job ads? The audio channels are less congested than the visual ones. H/T to brainfooder Simon McSorley in the fb group.

CEO Survey Summer 2021
Useful pulse survey from Deloitte, who surveyed US CEO’s of Fortune 500 companies on their views on the ‘state of the organisation’. Presented in a easy-to-read one pager - and very interesting to compare against TA / HR priorities. Download it here

They’d work with the client, picking the brains of the older, retired employees who originally wrote the systems — but have occasionally had an old-timer die in the middle of the process….
COBOL programmers dying - through old age - is a real problem in a society which has come to rely on this ever decreasing pool of talent. Fascinating story on one of the most crucial hiring challenges in tech recruitment today.

Investigation: How Roblox Is Exploiting Young Game Developers
Investigation: How Roblox Is Exploiting Young Game Developers
Roblox is the gaming platform that enables players to create games that other users can play. It’s a revolution no one in our business is talking about, mainly because TA / HR routinely ignores people who cannot become employees. Fascinating video on the creator economy, and what to do when the creators are kids…

End notes
I’m back in London, after two days in sunny Margate. Got to say, it’s a pretty nice beach town, even though it is desperately short of a reasonably located open-all-hours kebab shop. Shout out to all who were at RecFest this weekend - great to have a drink and laugh with you all.
Now, onto to this amazing piece of creative web development. Try it, tell me I’m wrong.. DM me on twitter or Instagram or TikTok….
Have a great week everybody.
