In this episode of Sourcing School, Ryan and Brian get to talk to Hillary Geissinger from You.com! She’s an army of one in her recruiting department, working to find employees for a search engine that’s changing the fundamentals of how people search. Hillary explains how reinventing recruiting for a lesser known brand can be difficult, especially when they’re trying to find unique candidates who want to change how the world “Googles.”

Hillary has a passion to find developers and designers that are passionate about making waves in this monopolized search industry.  She also expresses how reinventing search for your organization is a challenge, but vital to getting brand awareness out there. Google has its merits, but there’s a fundamental problem with consolidating search towards one particular algorithm.

She has had a very unique and challenging recruiting experience, and despite it all, has learned how to navigate this space quite effectively.

Key takeaways on reinventing recruiting:

  1. How she builds a foundation of trust when scouting new hires to get to the bottom of people’s passion.
  2. How to break through those difficult recruiting communication walls to bring up your quality of hire.
  3. Where and how to un-earth top dev talent to become part of the “in crowd”
