Identifying Green Flags on Tech CVs In the realm of tech hiring, recognising green flags on a CV is equally important as seeing the warning signs. Here are positive indicators that suggest a strong candidate: - Relevant Technical Qualifications: Current certifications and qualifications show commitment and up-to-date industry knowledge. - Career Advancement: A CV showing professional growth and increasing responsibility indicates potential for long-term contribution. - Quantifiable Achievements: Specific projects with measurable outcomes demonstrate a candidate's ability to execute and drive results. - Ongoing Learning: Recent training or self-improvement, particularly in new technologies, signifies dedication to professional growth. - Soft Skills Showcase: Mentions of teamwork, problem-solving, and effective communication highlight a well-rounded candidate ready for collaborative work. Paying attention to these green flags can help you identify candidates who are not just skilled technicians but also visionary team players, which is vital for success in the dynamic tech landscape!

I pretty much never post about roles I'm helping hire for, but this one is special: - you'd be the 4th or 5th engineer at the company (they're hiring 2 roles) - working on an issue that's central to climate tech in the US (residential homes are responsible for almost 1/5 of CO2 emissions here) - heat pumps are extremely cool & important and we need to make it way easier for homeowners to adopt them feel free to share - they are specifically looking for people who have already seen scale from very early stages (15 or fewer employees to at least 50) https://lnkd.in/g3cuEkeh

Weatherization jobs are vital for our transition to a clean energy future, yet weatherization employers face a continual struggle to fill their open positions. With support from the U.S. Department of Energy and a nationwide coalition of partners, the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) is developing a vast array of new resources to help weatherization employers recruit effectively and increase awareness of the benefits of weatherization careers. These recruitment materials will help the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) hire a new generation of home energy professionals, including individuals from underrepresented communities. The central hub of this work is Green Workforce Connect (https://lnkd.in/eaAwcMb3), a new platform that connects job seekers and contractors to weatherization employers.

I'd like to start a discussion about why TENURE is not a predictor of success, potential, productivity, loyalty, confidence, knowledge, leadership, integrity or worth! What data are companies using to validate the impact of hiring for long-tenure vs. skills or performance? Do you feel like long-tenured employees are more valuable? Is it industry based? (Biotech vs. Tech vs. Oil & Gas vs. Engineering any other) All thoughts and positions welcomed! Chime in! #tenure #employeestudies #recruiting #hiringpractices #changeagent #performanceindicators

🛠 The service industry is experiencing a transformation with the arrival of a new generation of skilled tradespeople—Gen Z, or the ‘Toolbelt Generation.’ This group is redefining hands-on professions with fresh perspectives. Rising pay, new technologies, career advancement opportunities and the cost of higher education are contributors to the profession’s appeal. 🚧 Despite this new wave of talent, organizations face a significant challenge: Their best technicians and engineers are leaving faster than they can be replaced, taking years of expertise with them and creating a sizable skills gap. The demand is outpacing the labor supply. 💡So, how can organizations capture this invaluable knowledge and make it accessible to junior technicians? 1. Shift Left -- solving problems remotely 2. AI for troubleshooting 3. Video content management systems Let your experts retire. Not their expertise. Is your next hiring class equipped with the proper tools to be successful?
