Navigating the current job market is proving to be a daunting task for developers, even experienced ones like Chuck. Does the hiring process need to be fixed? Taylor Desseyn, former Managing Director at Vaco, and a seasoned recruiter with 12 years of experience, believes so. Taylor advocates for a much-needed shift in mindset among hiring managers, emphasizing the importance of meeting candidates where they are. He suggests measures such as contract-to-hire options and redo opportunities, allowing candidates to show their true potential beyond the limitations of a single interview. Taylor believes a new approach would invite more diversity and inclusion into the hiring process and make the experience more fair and effective for the candidates and the employers. In this episode, Taylor talks to Robbie and Chuck about the flaws in the hiring process in the tech industry, the impact of hiring flaws on candidates, and potential solutions to create a more inclusive and effective system.

And has been fortunate to present at a number of events in the Nashville area, but also across the southeastern US at code conferences and beyond. Taylor has a knack for scaling teams as well. He has helped scale teams internally at Vaco up to 3x their initial size at every stop he has been. He also was chosen to present at Vaco's Global Conference on branding/marketing. Taylor is currently leading a team of 9 recruiters and has helped scale their revenue from $2 million to more than $6 million. Beyond his work as a recruiter, Taylor is the founder and co-host of The Unicorn Finders Podcast where he, along with his co-hosts Jake and Dan share the knowledge gained over a collective 30+ years of recruiting experience leading and scaling high-performing teams for the companies they serve.Please join us in welcoming to the show, Taylor Desseyn! Our Guest:Taylor DesseynLead technology recruiter at Vaco and podcast host. www.vaco.com/taylorhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/taylordesseyn/----Credits:Hosted by Ryan RoghaarTheme music: "Perfect Day" by OPMThe Carton:https://medium.com/the-carton-by-eggsThe Eggs Podcast Spotify playlist:bit.ly/eggstunesThe Plugs:The Showeggscast.com@eggshow on twitter and instagramOn iTunes: itun.es/i6dX3pCOn Stitcher: bit.ly/eggs_on_stitcherAlso available on Google Play Music!Mike "DJ Ontic" shows and infodjontic.com@djontic on twitterRyan Roghaarhttp://rogha.ar

It's our first VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY episode! We get headlines from the tech world, check in on the latest GigaFirm tech & gadgets w/ Gil Bates, then Enoch Wise interviews Taylor Desseyn of Vaco, the Recruiter Against Recruiters!councilofthewise.dev

I spoke with Taylor Desseyn. Taylor is a Sr. Recruiter at Vaco. He has been working specifically with software engineers and developers for the past 6 years. First off, I want to apologise to Taylor for mispronouncing his name some many times. And I'm a sticker about pronouncing names correctly! With that said, this was a different chat. We did it via Zoom and I decided to invite a group of developers to build a live audience where they could also ask questions directly. I think it went quite well but let me know what you think. Taylor was very comprehensive with his answers about recruiting, job search, LinkedIn, the use of video and even TikTok when applying for jobs. Taylor was also very open about the problems within the recruiting industry and why recruiters get a bad reputation. This is a must listen episode if you are looking for a job and still a highly recommended one if you are not. Taylor will not leave you empty handed after listening to this chat.
