Recruiting Pre-Internet
I'm sitting at my desk thinking about all the Linkedin/email networking and online applications I sent in to get where I am today and can't help but wonder how exactly did recruiting work before the internet was a major thing? Would I have any shot as a non-target or would my career be working at the community bank downtown?
prithteej wasnt a thing until WSO came along.
I imagine it was easier to network in the past.
Nowadays, a company can post a role looking for someone with Healthcare Device IB experience, and they can find dozens of applicants with that background because thousands of people across the country will see the posting.
But back then, they’d have to put out an ad in the local newspaper or ask around directly. The applicant pools were not nearly as specialized, so having even a minor connection meant you had great odds of landing the job.
But now - if you know the hiring manager, it may not matter. “Sorry we have 15 applicants with medical device IB experience and you only have tech IB experience”
