Through whispers and hushed tones across offices and internets, this mythology slowly became recognized as truth, despite any proof or shared experience. Some recruiters started to accept this alternate reality, repeating what they had heard without further investigation. But the time has come to flip the script, for recruiters to resist and reject the lore we\u2019ve been force-fed over the years. It is here and now, in the year 2019, that tech recruiters stand up and say, \u201cNo more!\u201d Let the debunking begin.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Myth #1: If you build it, they will come.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In this instance, \u201cit\u201d is that cool corporate culture, relaxed office environment and enticing employer brand that\u2019s sure to lure in any viable candidate, right? Wrong. <strong>The reality: <\/strong>More often than not, the onus of tech recruiting falls to the recruiter, not the culture. But before you put the office ping-pong table into storage, let\u2019s acknowledge that, while the perks matter, they aren\u2019t enough to unleash a torrent of interested applicants. Prepare accordingly, and don\u2019t put all your eggs in that \u201ccool company\u201d basket.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Myth #2: Silicon Valley or bust. <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Shocking, I know. But coming to terms with the simple fact that location isn\u2019t everything can do wonders for your productivity (and probably your psyche). <strong>The reality: <\/strong>Sure, there\u2019s a high concentration of capable technical talent in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dice.com\/career-advice\/9-top-states-tech-pro-salaries\">Silicon Valley<\/a>, but that doesn\u2019t mean you need to focus all your energy convincing engineers in San Jose to relocate to Sheboygan. You will probably lose that battle. Instead, look for tech communities and networks closer to home to expand your reach and improve your success rate. Plus, it doesn\u2019t hurt to keep an eye on those up-and-coming tech hotbeds. They tend to crop up faster than you\u2019d expect.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Myth #3: <\/strong><strong>One and done<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n<p>Closing a req does not mean that the work is complete. Nope. You\u2019re far from finished. <strong>The reality: <\/strong>Tech recruiting is (and needs to be) an ongoing process. The second you manage to staff those technical roles fully, someone will inevitably jump ship. It\u2019s the law of the universe. So before you get too comfortable, resting upon your tech recruiter laurels (as if those even exist), keep your forward momentum and focus on those top-of-funnel activities. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dice.com\">Awareness and outreach <\/a>are essential. Trust me; you\u2019ll thank yourself later.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Myth #4: The <a href=\"take-your-best-shot-at-purple-squirrels\">purple squirrel <\/a>exists. <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It does not. Stop trying to make it happen. <strong>The reality: <\/strong>Repeat after me: tech recruiters are not magicians. They cannot and should not pull rabbits (or purple squirrels) out of hats. Likewise, pursuing the \u201cperfect\u201d candidate is a surefire way to drive yourself nuts. Rather, <a href=\"https:\/\/techhub.dice.com\/2018-DiceLP-2018-Intake-Template-and-Guide-ResourceLibrary.html\">set reasonable expectations<\/a> with hiring managers and aim to match as many of their qualifications as humanly possible. Any more than that, and you could wind up sourcing for a single position well into old age.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Myth #5: Money doesn\u2019t matter<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n<p>Put your money where your mouth is and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dice.com\/recruiting\/ebooks\/dice-tech-salary-report\/\">start embracing the ever-important salary discussion<\/a>. <strong>The reality: <\/strong>Many clich\u00e9s hold up; and in this case, that means money talks and time is money. Tech professionals know how valuable they are, and they expect you, the recruiter, to understand that. No one wants to wait around for months for your team to make a decision and an offer. Once you lock in on a particular candidate, stay vigilant in your communication and keep them informed whenever and wherever possible.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Myth #6: Training is irrelevant. <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Unless, of course, you want your workforce and organization to evolve. <strong>The reality: <\/strong>Remember the purple squirrel thing a couple of myths back? Even the most skilled, highly educated and super-experienced candidates will benefit from structured onboarding, continued training and opportunities for additional development. <a href=\"managing-teams-key-winning-keeping-talent\">Tech pros care about expanding their skill sets<\/a>. You can\u2019t expect your employees to stay active and engaged without a little nurturing from time to time. If this is something you intend to offer, state it clearly in your early conversations and let candidates know you\u2019re keen to support them further down the line. Now that we\u2019re clear on a few things, I think it\u2019s important to reiterate: Yes, many factors go into tech recruiting. It\u2019s a tough game to play; no one denies that. But fooling yourself into believing the fables and falsehoods will only impede progress, not promote it. It\u2019s up to tech recruiters to forge a new narrative, one that accurately reflects the trials and tribulations of their daily work. In doing so, you\u2019ll make recruiting easier for the generations to come, offering up a proper North Star to follow. <strong><em>Ryan Leary<\/em><\/strong><em> helps create the processes, ideas and innovation that drive RecruitingDaily.
