some insights

hiring people comes from 3 sources

1. direct applicants who found your job listings

2. aplicants referred by people already working at the same firm

3. applicants who are poached / headhunted, where the recruiter reached out to them

1 has a lot of noise, 2 and 3 has better signal. on 2 referrer people put their reputation on the line, on 3 they earn commission on successful hires so recruiters do it well too.

create a platform that allows #3 instead. example? somewhere.com.
