SXSW

Will be going to SXSW to network and recruit software engineers and developers. 


In a hot field (like software engineers & developers) we cannot limit ourselves to

-Job boards

-LinkedIn profiles

-Boolean Search (I am sure the person who has the first result in (intitle:resume | inurl: resume) "software engineer" java ruby 415 -jobs -eoe -you has gotten quite a few contacts)

-Ads (If you are posting ads waiting on software engineers to apply, you may be waiting awhile) 


These approaches work on some positions but not for the roles with the most in demand skill sets and backgrounds so you need to go where the talent is (such as SXSW, tech events & user groups)


Getting out from behind your computer and phone and proactively meeting your target market is a great way to find the candidates. 


If you are planning on going to SXSW then follow sxswparty on Twitter.
