Laid-off job hunters are sending a deluge of applications to tech companies still hiring during the coronavirus crisis, and a recruiter says 'We can be very picky'
has become more flexible, but recruiting teams now have to prepare candidates by giving them an overview of the technology they need to use for an interview.
"Overall, most recruiting teams have seen a hit in terms of individual production and team production," Plasman said. "That's disappointing because a lot of what our compensation has been is personal production. All of a sudden you're not producing at the same level, and it affects your morale too." Alexander estimates that before, Arthur.ai mostly found candidates through LinkedIn searches and referrals, and now it's 90% through layoff lists. And while Plasman will reach out to engineers who just got laid off, he will also reach out to employees remaining at the same company because they're likely to be strong talent, and they may be worried about another layoff round.
Now, Ona says, there is plenty of good talent that is actively looking, and she will take time to connect with people on these lists. While Earnest has slowed down in hiring its business and marketing roles, it's focusing on hiring tech talent. Ona says she has been doing triple the number of calls she normally does. Office perks are becoming less important
