SE-Radio Episode 258: Cody Voellinger on Recruiting Software Engineers

Robert Blumen talks with Cody Voellinger, the founder of a
recruiting firm that specializes in filling software engineer
roles for San Francisco-area startups, about how jobs are created
and how companies and engineers get matched up. Their discussion
covers the entire job search process, from job descriptions to
salary negotiations. They look at the job market from both sides:
how companies define what they want, find the right people, and
evaluate candidates, and how job seekers can position themselves
for the role they want. Other topics include culture fit versus
skill and resumes in an age of social networking. They conclude
with a look at the mistakes that job seekers, recruiters, and
companies should avoid.
