Leveraging your Organization's OS Engagements to Recruit and Retain.
summary
Companies use open source as a hiring lever and build concrete systems to do it: EPAM pulls GitHub issues into an internal platform called targeted contributions so engineers get hand‑picked tasks, and a homegrown contributor tracking tool records every commit to follow hires over time. Cited numbers: 86% of hiring managers mark open source a high priority, 73% of OSS professionals say it’s easy to find a new role, 67% stay for pay and 62% for training. Practices include publishing policies, exception clauses in contracts, paid upstream roles (eg Amazon for Apache Kafka) and financial bonuses.
