Context: Searching for a new senior level software development job over a 9 week period in summer 2025.
- Focused mostly on data engineering and backend roles that are in-person or hybrid in the SF Bay Area.
- Leads from recruiters on LinkedIn were much more likely to lead to interviews+offers.
- The winning offer came through my personal network.
- I mostly used Hiring.cafe for prospecting. They’re a scraper with an interface I didn’t hate.
More recently I injected an AI poison pill into her resume. Honestly, it’s been working, at least with interviews. Getting past the human stage is still impossible.
Could you share more info about that please? I love the idea!
