On the ground, this seems to be demonstrably false. I have numerous current and former coworkers that would love opportunities elsewhere.

It’s the recruiters who are the problem. If you’re looking for a C# dev and you put “5 years Node.JS experience minimum”, then not only are you going to miss out on some great, if not the best, developers, but you’re much less likely to hire the man you actually want.




I'd go further and say it's not just the recruiters that are the problem, but the automation of recruiting that is the problem.

Hiring is a people skill, not an algorithm skill.


Preach!
