Your senior role has been open 90 days. That's not a market problem. That's a process problem. Senior engineers don't apply to job posts. They evaluate you before you know they're evaluating you. The architecture for hiring people who aren't looking. #TalentEngineering

Stop asking your recruiting team what the Time-to-Fill is for Senior Engineers. 120 days isn't a performance metric. It’s a structural failure. You're running a hiring process built for a candidate who doesn't exist at the top of the skill distribution. 🧵👇
