Before reaching out to any senior developer, please take 20 seconds to analyze their LinkedIn profile. It's important to identify the primary reason for this expert to engage in conversation with you right away. There should be benefits, not limited to remote work, better salary, or visa sponsorship. Better if this dev has a passion for tech challenges, modern frameworks, open-source projects, startup innovation, flat management structure, and so on. If someone starts working solely for "remote" reasons or "visa sponsorship", they will leave as soon as a new opportunity with an interesting tech stack or bigger internal team expertise arrive This is not sustainable in the long run. #stopspammingeveryone #bestrategic #sourcing #longrun

Happy Thursday everyone! Today's high priority, important, really cool open jobs here at First American are in Rahul G.'s organization. First is a Director of Data Security. As trusted stewards of our customers' customers (so America's) data, this is a really critical role to make sure we continue to honor our commitments. https://lnkd.in/g4Uwfaen The second is a role that's near and dear to my heart - a Principal Cloud Security engineer. My teams work with these folks daily to make sure we're building security in at every possible spot to protect us and our customers. https://lnkd.in/gT4WkVjM These roles say hybrid, but they are also eligible for fully remote. We're working on the pay range listed (to get them more market correct), so don't let that deter you from applying if you're a great fit. Not the right role for you? Check our careers page - we're hiring software engineers, product managers, devops/platform engineers, interns, and a bunch of other roles. Generally speaking I think we do support visa sponsorship, but I'm not sure about for these roles. Now for the "reading comprehension" test: I'm not the hiring manager for most of these roles. Unless we have a direct and personal relationship already, please don't ask me to refer you, your friend, or your cousin's hairdresser's uncle. And for the part that I hate to have to write, but <bruh> the spam is real: - No third party recruiters, no firms, no contracting orgs, etc. If you're a recruiter and reach out to me or comment, you will be blocked. I won't accept your connection request either. - If you're a sales rep, BDR, or some flavor of sales person, I won't accept your connection request and if you pitch me, you'll get blocked.

🌍 Why Hire Remote Software Engineers? 🌍 US firms face significant challenges in hiring software engineers. Sure, there are many more applications than there were during COVID times. But getting hundreds of CVs makes the screening process time-consuming and inefficient. Additionally, the salaries and benefits required for US-based engineers are significantly higher compared to other regions. Hiring full-time employees involves long-term commitments, such as notice periods and severance, which limit the flexibility of SMBs to adapt quickly to changing business needs. We are excited to share the benefits of hiring remote engineers through Remgu: ✅ Quality: Work with vetted, experienced engineers who hit the ground running. ✅ Cost: Work with a senior engineer for 33% less than the median salary of a US developer. ✅ Efficiency: Our matching service eliminates the hassle of browsing through hundreds of resumes, providing you with one or two high-quality candidates quickly. ✅ Flexibility: Scale your team as needed with no long-term obligations. You can even work with the engineer directly after both parties get a feel for each other.

🔍 Navigating the Job Market: A Recruiter's Challenge and a Candidate's Frustration 🚀 🚨 Job Seekers: Insights from a Remote Software Engineer Job Posting 🚨 Yesterday, I posted a remote Software Engineer job and received 168 applications in a day. Here's a glimpse into my screening process and some valuable tips for candidates to get noticed: Location Flexibility: While the role is remote, candidates must be eligible to work in the U.S. Resumes missing location details may be overlooked. 👉 Tip: Always include your location and eligibility to work in the U.S. on your resume. Full Names & Visa Status: Resumes with only a first name or those needing visa sponsorship are often rejected. Many don't disclose visa status, which requires additional checking. 👉 Tip: Use your full name and be clear about your visa status. Relevant Job Titles: The client is looking for a full-stack developer with PHP, React.js, and Node.js experience. Titles like Java Developer, .NET Developer, etc., are not a fit. 👉 Tip: Ensure your job title matches the job you're applying for. Resume Parsing: ATS systems can misinterpret complex resume templates, leading to potential rejection. 👉 Tip: Use simple, ATS-friendly resume templates. Despite narrowing down to 29 potential candidates, none met all the criteria when reviewed individually. This highlights the challenges in today’s job market and the importance of precision in your applications. 💡 Key Takeaways for Job Seekers: Use standard resume templates. Tailor your resume for each application. Include your full name, job title, and location. Double-check that your job title aligns with the job posting. If planning to relocate, indicate your future city on your resume and be upfront in interviews. If you're non-local but willing to relocate, follow up with a LinkedIn message. Finding the right fit can be a needle in a haystack, but these tips can help you stand out! 🌟 Please note, if I don't communicate to your messages, emails etc., the reason could be one of many of the above. If you need a job quickly, you have develop the skills consistently, sell yourself and don't make the mistakes as mentioned above If you like the message, kindly pass in your comments that would trigger me to think more in the next message #JobSearch #RecruitmentTips #CareerAdvice #SoftwareEngineering #JobHunting #RemoteJobs #ResumeTips

A Thought on Remote Software Engineering Needs I've noticed a trend in job postings for remote software engineers where companies explicitly mention "no agencies." As someone deeply involved in the industry, this makes me curious. Agencies work hard to vet and onboard candidates through rigorous checks, ensuring that the talent they provide is top-notch. They charge for premium services because of the quality and reliability they bring to the table. So, I wonder what the specific concerns or negative experiences are that lead companies to avoid working with agencies. Is it a matter of cost, past experiences, or something else? I'd love to hear thoughts and insights from the community on this. How can agencies better align with what companies need and overcome these hesitations? Looking forward to an open and constructive discussion! #SoftwareEngineering #RemoteWork #TalentAcquisition #TechCommunity #ITAgencies
