Thoughts on recruiting Java software engineers in Beijing IT company

&http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp; In today's society, no matter what professional needs a continuous learning link, software engineers are the same. Although the work of a software engineer is different from that of a programmer, the predecessor of a software engineer must be a good programmer, and software development tools and development techniques are evolving. It is difficult to keep abreast of the development needs of the students at school but it is impossible to say that they are completely useless, only after fully understanding the corresponding basic skills can you easily master new skills, software technology is a step-by-step process. So it is very important to learn the specialized courses that the school can offer.

I am a small very small software company in Beijing, recently because of business development, want to recruit Java software engineer, 1 senior (more than 4 years experience), 2 junior (more than 2 years experience). Since 24th, I have posted a post in one of the three major recruiting websites. From 24th noon, to the current five days period, has received close to 4,000 of the application vitae, because many people are senior primary two positions at the same time, so the number can be roughly divided by two, and then remove some of the repeated transmission, so the number of candidates is about 1500 to 1800.

To tell you the truth, I did not anticipate the effect at all. I did not expect that there will be so many people to apply for, the second is not expected to graduate in these two years of the proportion of students. Because my company is just a completely not well-known small company, originally I hope to have hundreds of resumes let me filter on it. In addition, the requirements of the position are really very real, because the project will be on the horse, the past similar work experience is necessary. I am not unwilling to cultivate new people, but it is also conditional, which is described in detail later.

Because too many resumes, I have only read hundreds of, about one-fifth or even one-sixth, statistical samples should be barely enough. In this nearly 1800 people, the graduating students (09) accounted for about 20%, this year (08) graduates accounted for more than 50%, last year (07) graduate accounted for 20%, the remaining less than 10% is working more than 2 years.

Importantly, excluding fresh students, these people more than 90% of the current status is "I am currently in a state of separation, can immediately mount."

To tell you the truth, I'm surprised. Although I know the current job market is very bad, but for IT industry, there are so many people are currently unemployed, I still did not think of. If a small company like me receives so many resumes, how much will those big companies and foreign firms receive? I do not know, the current talent market in Beijing, the IT industry is the number of unemployed people? If it is the case, what about other industries?

Here are some possible extra words, I hope the ddmm who are looking for a job don't make bricks, I'm just a good reminder.

After receiving so many resumes, the initial excitement was quickly replaced by disappointment, because most of the candidates were completely out of line with my requirements. The following are some of the things that disappoint me:

Multi-vote: Junior position, senior position and apply

It may be a matter of attention, but it would be confusing to apply for a senior position because of the fact that the conditions are at best (or even inconsistent with) the requirements of entry-level positions. What would you do if you were an HR? Is it an interview by a senior position or is it a beginner? The general result may be that there is no chance of a beginner. Why? Because if you meet the primary, but not in line with the advanced, then since you apply for advanced, you have a higher position, the salary requirements will be high, if only give you a beginner, then you will be psychologically unbalanced. If so, why reluctantly?

Fabricate work experience

Perhaps because the unit recruitment now requires work experience, now the resume is a project experience, and some just graduated half a year or even 5 projects. To be honest, if there are so many projects, is it doubtful that you went to class during school? Moreover, the description of many projects is very easy to see is not completely true, or false, or even if the participation is only "participation", but actually can say that they are "director", "team leader" and so on. Please do not graduate or just graduated DDMM don't forget, now your advantage lies in school learning, learning ability, work experience is only a icing on the cake, do not cart the horse before the horse. In fact, many companies, including my small companies, are trying to cultivate new people, but if you do not let you see your academic performance, learning ability, how can I make up my mind to want you? Maybe you say that your resume just wants an interview and will do it in the interview. But if my resume is disappointing, will there be an interview?
