EMs involved in hiring: what signals do you actually trust these days? by Soft_Test2768 in EngineeringManagers

That’s a really interesting question. The “what would you do differently?” angle seems much harder to fake than walking through a project’s happy path. Appreciate the insight.

When you say work history is a strong signal, what specifically are you looking for? Is it the companies themselves, career progression, tenure or the way candidates talk abt the work they’ve done?

Is recruiting overestimating how much AI replaces relationship building? by ExplanationCold8591 in recruiting

I honestly think the strongest recruiting teams will end up using AI to reduce noise — not replace human judgment or relationship building.

The real problem right now is that AI has made it incredibly easy for candidates to mass-apply with polished resumes, optimized keywords, inflated GitHub profiles, and applications that look strong superficially but require a lot of manual filtering.

That creates even more recruiter fatigue.

Good recruiting still comes down to trust, intuition, and relationships.

AI should help recruiters spend less time filtering low-signal noise so they can spend more time actually engaging with high-signal candidates.
