If You Build it, They Will Come: But Will They Stay?
summary
Recruiting and retention hinge on specifics: recruiters actually search LinkedIn, Twitter and GitHub, stock candidates, and value three tangible intangibles — online brand, network and reputation — alongside resume skills; employees spend about 8.9 hours a day at work so companies must provide skill variety (task identity, task significance), autonomy and clear feedback as per the job characteristics model; concrete actions include allowing public talks, funding conference time, internal communities, and simple resume links — these steps measurably improve hiring and stay rates.
