Drop me a message or an email at jobreferral191@gmail.com with your name, interested job role & resume.
As someone who has worked in a few startups, it IS a totally different world. Not knowing your background and what organizations or industries you’ve worked in, if you want to make a shift to tech, I’d focus your resume on things that tech startups need: how you’ve created infrastructure, dealing with ambiguity, adaptability, etc. Sounds like there’s something at the recruiter level Qs that’s keeping you from getting to the HM.
I will say- I’ve had coworkers hired in from larger companies that were well established, had processes and policies, systems, infrastructure, etc in place and they struggled hard with that stuff not existing in the small tech company. Not sure if that’s what they’re picking up, but hopefully this helps?
What if it’s not a tech startup? It can be a role recruiting for tech positions in an established business. I have issues with this… I have a background in HR, and have worked in different industries. I’ve recently transitioned to recruiting, and I am confident I can recruit for any role, but have an issue landing a job as a technical recruiter. It’s not rocket science to be honest. I feel a lot of companies/recruiters try to pigeon hole applicants.
To me, this is just an indicator that they wouldn’t train you and expect you to hit the ground running on day 1.
Agreed.. Ive been at a few startups and often times, you come in and are thrown projects / problems immediately. There’s not really ramp up time and processes/policies. You’ll need to be able to navigate without and build it as you go
I think applicant tracking systems are just kicking people left and right, and orgs are missing out on some viable candidates because a set of eyes is not reviewing the resumes.
Hi, recruiter here! This is a widely accepted misconception. ATS systems are essentially our CRM’s. They don’t automatically reject candidates, we reject candidates. The literal only exception would be if you answer one of the determination questions incorrectly. I.e, those questions on LI that ask if you have __ years of experience, or if you’re authorized to work in the US, etc.
With the tech industry layoffs, I would be avoiding that industry for HR jobs right now
Yep! A total of 17,000 people across several tech start ups were laid off between May-June
I echo this sentiment. I feel the people screening fail to see the transferable skills’ value and many, though do not require it nor include in JD’s, look for PM/Agile certifications.
Yup. See this as well.
I’ve been at both massive corporations and mid to late stage startups. While it is a different world, I agree they should be open to hiring from larger companies, particularly if they aspire to one day go public.
It’s absolutely about being able to navigate the cultural dynamics of that type of environment. Folks often really struggle with the gray…you could counter and note…although I don’t have direct tech experience I do feel comfortable navigating the gray, operating efficiently with limited structure and ever changing priorities.
I work in tech and have also worked in animation and VFX which are similar in terms of ambiguity, lack of processes, quick changing etc, and I have seen hr folks come from larger more stable organizations/more traditional backgrounds and get frustrated and even struggle in the different environment, but it can totally be done. I think just know what you are getting into. If you are ok with (and energized by) ambiguity, quick changing priorities, building processes and programs from scratch, being iterative, adapting to new technologies, finding opportunities to leverage tech, people analytics, etc, working in tech is a lot of fun! Focus on showing how you demonstrate those skills in your resume and interviews.
I interviewed for 3 hrs just for them to say i got rejected for no tech or start up experience 😕
I hate that. I get called and have good interviews, sometimes with a few people and get the same response you did.
I just got turned down for a promotion in HR for someone with little to no experience. The selected person wasn’t even in the HR function. I on the other hand have the experience, knowledge, and 15+ years of strong performance reviews.
How about those of us that have been in Trch management and want to be in HR but can’t cause never had an HR title! I feel your pain.
Try a different tech. I know many HR people who moved from other industries to tech. One will work fine.
