Ask HN: Do you think tech recruitment is broken?

Hey there,

I'm a self-taught web developer and I believe tech recruitment needs some improvement. Obviously, there are two different points of view here: employer's and employee's. I think companies should have an in house recruitment department and not rely too much on recruiters. On the other hand, I guess employees are trying to also find a group of likeminded people who they would like to share those 8 - 9 daily hours with, not just the coding tasks per se. This is what I feel is missing tech recruitment the most, finding a team you would kill to work with rather than just getting a job mindset. What do you think? I would love to hear your stories.

Thanks!
