Secret Hiring Tool for Silicon Valley Types
December 8, 2014
It is harder than ever to find a job for young graduates and seasoned workers. Yet according to the FitFrnd blog, Silicon Valley is having trouble finding good employees. The post “Silicon Valley’s Best-Kept Secret: How AngelList Is Slowly Disrupting The Hiring Industry” explains that rather than relying on “old-fashioned” job search engines, AngelList’s is proving to be more reliable in finding talent.
AngelList is primarily a crowdfundung Web site used by startups to raise money for new endeavors. AngelList, however, is proving to be a new resource to find a job or locate someone to fill the position. Other career Web sites fail to attract the right talent. The post explains how FitFrnd ad trouble finding a blogger/content marketer:
“We finally decided to give AngelList a serious try. We had tried it before, but our efforts had been half-hearted. This time we improved our copy, added information such as why the company is such an amazing place to work (it is!), details about salary and equity ranges, and even screenshots of the app. Within a few days, we have received about 80 resumes, including some really compelling candidates.”
What makes AngelList different is that it allows applicants to apply privately and know the salary up front. It also cuts out the middleman. While the information is searchable, you have to join AngelList. While it does not cost to join, it eventually might, but the price is you are paying for a service that works…for the moment.
