Head of Talent and Operations @ TLV Partners

I spoke with Calcalist כלכליסט last week about how the combination of high candidate volumes and diminished in-house recruiting resources are creating tough conditions for candidates. Companies are feeling overwhelmed by the quantity of applicants, so they're either not posting roles publicly or only speaking to a tiny portion of candidates, usually the ones who get an extra push from someone in their network. This is especially difficult for groups that tend to have weaker networks in the tech ecosystem - juniors, olim, racial/ethnic/religious minority groups, candidates looking to make a career change or enter hi-tech from other industries, etc. Network-based hiring has some benefits for companies, but can also reinforce existing inequalities around access to opportunities. HR and Talent teams need to think about how to balance resource limitations against the desire to continue to build diverse, inclusive teams.

I agree, especially harder for those who moved from other places and dont have the "combina" kind of network to get them " in", while others might be more qualified without that connection

Could not agree more! On one hand, companies are having trouble diversifying (because they arent willing to do proper searches and end up hiring quickly within their network) and on the other hand, i find Israelis have a more positive/warm company culture (probably because they know each other from before working together).
