If I have to talk to another laid off front end xoogler who doesn’t have a side project, I’m gonna lose my …. And current googlers, can you teach your fellow employees what being a developer means? Being a developer does not mean you can write clever leet code solutions. It does mean you keep up to date on the newest tools and technologies. Back in the day we’d have to wait for the newest oreilly or wrox book to learn some cool new tech like xslt Now all you gotta do is spend 15 minutes a day on reddit or hacker news threads. It’s infuriating when taking to a front end dev and they don’t even know what nextjs or zustand or tailwind are. I don’t care if they have used them, I’m just trying to figure out if they do _any_ self education. The answer I keep hearing from googlers is … “Wait what’s that?” What kind of dev culture tolerates such levels of ignorance? How can you call yourself a preeminent software organization when your employees don’t care about software?

I'm honored to be hosting a Voray Dinner on June 4th in Redwood City. To engage and make the event appealing to as many TA leaders as possible, I figured I would try crowdsourcing some theme or discussion ideas! I was thinking something about transferable skills and how we can help other recruiters in the current market could be an insightful discussion. Any other ideas? What would you like to discuss? Previous events covered: ▪ Optimizing the recruiting process ▪ Understanding Talent Metrics ▪ Hiring without LinkedIn ▪ Mastering the Candidate Journey I will make notes and share the ideas that come from our discussions!

Within 3 years, over 85% of recruiting agencies and executive search firms will be using this new category of software.  The top 10 reasons why professional recruiting organizations will replace their ATS/CRM with a “Talent Intelligence Platform” when their contract is next up for renewal: 1. The price is nearly identical, but a Talent Intelligence Platform offers all the features and capabilities an ATS/CRM does, plus additional benefits listed below, all within a unified and seamless workflow: 2. A state-of-the-art Applicant Tracking System and Recruiting CRM - that is easier to use and 20+ years more modern. 3. A Sales CRM for business development activities and prospecting new client accounts with phone and emails. 4. Built-in Data. A talent graph of over a billion professionals across hundreds of data sources, publicly available social network profiles, industry specific and government datasets, including nursing, healthcare, and technology. 5. Automatic data enrichment and data refreshing. Your database stays up to date automatically like magic - without you having to lift a finger.  This is transformational. 6. AI sourcing and AI ranking.   Build best match talent pipelines, and source with unmatched speed and quality.  Discover hidden candidates you would otherwise never find without the assistance of AI.  Data and AI algorithms continuously improve helping you get better and better with every search. 7. Beautiful design and ease of use.  A Talent Intelligence Platform uses the most delightful user experience design and modern user interfaces possible.   8. Personal contact information.  Loxo even offers a plan with unlimited contact information credits.  No ATS/CRM in the world can do this and it’s an absolute game changer for so many reasons. 9. AI. AI. AI.  The reason why this category of software is called a “Talent Intelligence Platform” is because the software was specifically designed to use artificial intelligence at each and every step in the recruiting lifecycle to further boost productivity and drive performance including copilot capabilities. 10. Compounding performance.  Recruiting organizations will get more job orders and recruit better quality talent much faster and more consistently than they did previously. “The power of compounding interest”.

I don’t hear “as much” about work life balance or work life integration. Or work life chaos like I used to call it as my husband and I juggled two careers and three growing teens. Maybe people figured it out. Maybe people are hesitant to raise the topic when industry is dynamically changing. Some of us are continuing to work on it. Today was no exception. I saw a two hour open block on my calendar. Surprised my youngest son and asked if he was ready to get his driver’s permit today? Knowing the place closed at 4:30, I made a dash for it and successfully got a ride home with my new driver in time for my last sync of the day. A few days ago, I had returned from a leadership offsite in time for his 16th birthday. When we were planning the offsite, I made a casual statement to my exec team I’ll need to fly home Friday from London to be home for my son’s birthday. No questions asked. In many jobs, so many of us are ‘on.’ When you enjoy what you do or who you work with, you forget you are balancing like a gymnast on the balance beam, until you fall off. As we approach Mental Health Awareness month, let’s inspire each other to carve out those ‘non negotiable’ times so we can stay ‘somewhat balanced.’ Each of us define what that means, looks like, and feels like differently. It may just bring a big smile from some of your biggest fans. #momlife #worklife #workintegration

TL;DR - Want a ticket to Reactnext/ Node.tlv? We'll get you there! Full-stack engineering means different things to different companies. Very few people really do specializes on both sides, so why call it Full-stack? is it just a pretentious hype? What does it really mean? And why do we keep using it? At Riverside, being Fullstack is about increased perspective, reducing limitations and having a ton of ownership. ✅ It means being able to move quicker, as you have less dependencies. ✅ It means you have the knowledge to choose the right tools to solve each problem. ✅ It gives you flexibility to navigate special requests or features that require both front and backend. ✅ It means you're a true expert on one domain, but have more tools in your toolbox for special cases than just one language. Being well rounded is very important to us, and that's why I am very excited to sponsor both ReactNext Conference and Node.TLV this year. This is truly a Fullstack sponsorship! 😎 ⭐ aaand we have the opportunity to give away one free ticket ⭐ to one conference! So what's your passion? which side do you lean into more? Or maybe it's the other side you want to invest in? Let us help you with that! Write in the comments which conference you prefer out of the two and the comment with most likes by 24.5 will get a free ticket to your conference of choice from us!

In this week’s Radix Review, we cover: 💼 Recap of a recruiting conference I attended to learn more about what’s happening in the hiring market. - Perspective from lots of industries – SaaS, Education, Recreation, Manufacturing, Childcare… - Coming back into balance hasn’t been easy, but 2023 was the “Big Reset” for recruiting teams. It certainly felt like a lot of over-hiring in tech a couple years ago. - Types of jobs being created relate to income levels, which relates to different types of #apartment demand. 📈 State-level employment and unemployment trends, including some analysis on CA’s tech industry. - NY adding a ton of jobs (absolute basis) even though the headlines are usually about people leaving. - CA’s tech industry is barely above the pre-pandemic job level. The rest of the country is up more than half a million combined. - FL and TX are still job growth juggernaut’s, but places like MO have added more jobs than you’d think. 🏙️ Latest #multifamily forecasts for rent growth and occupancy for the U.S. and several markets around the country. - U.S. 2024 average projections – Occupancy at 93.9%, effective rent growth at -1.1% (new leases). Occupancy slightly up and rents slightly down from early-spring forecast. - As more actuals come in, the markets on the extreme ends of the performance spectrum are getting more upgrades/downgrades in terms of outlooks for the year. ➕ Bonus shout outs -> Restaurant recommendation in Austin, as well as what Chris Nebenzahl and I will be up to for Memorial Day weekend.
