Technology and social media have become the go-to resources for recruiting top talent in recent times. By searching for relevant skills and words on Google and social media platforms such as LinkedIn, you can find loads of skilled professionals to shortlist for your recruitment process.
As a tech leader, you may be willing to use all available resources to find the right candidates when building your team, including social media and search engines. But does this help you identify the right candidate for the position you’re looking to fill, or are the search engines and social media platforms recommending candidates with nice-to-have skills who may not be the right culture fit for your organization?
Hiring the wrong candidate can affect your team’s performance and your organization as a whole. Hence, it’s advisable to avoid common mistakes when recruiting talents. Unfortunately, the current recruitment processes may not be the best way to find talents for your organization.
If you’re wondering why you can’t fully rely on social media algorithms when recruiting candidates or are looking for alternative ways to find great talent for your organization, you’re in luck.

He spoke extensively about tech leaders’ mistakes when hiring candidates in recent times, what tech leaders should do instead to find great talent, and offered hiring tips for CTOs.
