I recently changed jobs, and most I realized companies are atrocious at hiring.
I came from a bigger company that invests heavily in hiring.
They spend tons of cash and employee time in activities to spur hiring, and it's the only place I've worked full time.
I found it a bit surprising that many other companies only do a few interviews, use only external recruiters and have never tried to do any form of publicity nor recruiting event.
Many of them had not even looked at my Github profile.
- It might say that you have some experience that could save the new company a lot of money.
"It's just cheaper to higher the new CS grad for $80k year."
- $80k is only the debit side of the balance sheet so so "cheaper" is correct. But "more economical" might not be.
