In a highly competitive employment market, the tech industry is exploding. The pandemic is accelerating companies to go digital. In the past couple of years, there’s been a massive growth in the number of startups. Venture capitalists, as well as big-money investors, have financed all kinds of innovative and new companies.
Large tech firms such as Apple and Amazon continue to grow despite their staggering size. There’s been a lot of activity on Web3 and the metaverse. NFT platforms, cryptocurrency exchanges, and tech-related companies are XYZ in all areas. This unprecedented growth has led to an unending demand for top software engineers and tech talent.
To assist companies in acquiring these difficult-to-find software experts, there’s a new player in the field of recruitment. Blind is an edgy, most prominent professional network, announced the official launch of Talent by Blind on Thursday. The division will connect its more than five million users on the site with the most rapidly growing startups and innovative businesses within the U.S. Particularly, the search department will concentrate on highly competent software engineers, developers, and other technologists.
Blind provides a platform to verified members to make posts anonymously. Members are loud, open, honest, and sometimes boisterous. The posts on the site are direct, and blinders aren’t shy in their opinions about the businesses they work for or are contemplating changing too.
Because they’re anonym, members can discuss their salaries openly or seek advice from fellow participants to determine whether they’re being fairly compensated and if they should request a raise or decide to leave. Which companies offer the best compensation packages is a frequent event. Discussions regularly revolve around whether working for Amazon is superior to Apple or should employees at Meta be worried about some recent issues, like no more free laundry or to-go food cartons. The open-minded site has created an intimate community. The media swiftly seize the open and honest comments about everyday drama and outrages to get the pulse of the vast, well-paid high-demand professionals.
When you are open, you can be confident. Members are offered the choice to accept or not to solicitation from a Blind recruiter.
Blind co-founder and chief executive officer Kyum Kim explained, “Engineers rely on Blind to locate companies with the most appealing environment, growth opportunities projects, and values. Kim said, “The trust is why Talent by Blind can find and hire the most skilled and broad-based software engineers that jobs boards, talent marketplaces, or other recruiters cannot find.”One of the difficulties in finding tech specialists is that they’re typically not connected to LinkedIn because they don’t want to be constantly bombarded by cold messages. “Seven out of 10 software engineers rely on platforms like Blind, ahead of company-sponsored media, personal and professional networks or news articles,” according to a recent study of 65,000 developers from around the world through Stack Overflow.
Talent By Blind identifies and screens candidates from its network. The method used is that thousands and thousands of engineers –ranging from high-profile, large tech companies to emerging startups — create their Talent By Blind profile.
The candidate will be assigned their headhunter free of charge or cost. A Talent By Blind recruiter will get a better understanding of the candidate’s needs and career goals, the kind of company they’re interested in, the correct corporate name, and the compensation package. The recruiter will assist the applicant through the interview process and assist in negotiations for salary. Some of the companies associated with this program include Affirm and Affirm, Alphabet business X, BlackRock, CoinList, Ripple, Stellar, StubHub, ZipRecruiter, etc.
