We recently wrote how Yulia Pashchenko, Talent acquisition and Recruitment Expert, said that she refused a candidate an interview because he was on a recruiting blacklist.

HRG at Laser Estetics Adelina Khatsenko recently decided to quit and during a short search even received several great offers for herself. However, the employer did not want to let the specialist go and in the end she stayed. Have IT specialists been in such situations and what did they decide at the crossroads? They shared their thoughts under Adelina’s post.

Founder at Lead Team IT recruitment agency Anastasia Voitenko shared a story about a candidate who honestly expressed his position on the language of communication in the team. And this requirement is atypical and outrageous for many in this day and age.

Recruiter Tetyana Stefanovska asked the LinkedIn community which corporate benefit really surprised the specialists.

Dismissal is perhaps the most painful procedure for IT professionals, if it occurs not at their own request, but at the will of the employer. dev.ua decided to find out the reasons why employers usually say goodbye to IT professionals.

Oleg Gribachov, Resell Department Team Lead at the Performance Marketing agency specializing in iGaming and sports, Makeberry, spoke about his criteria for finding employees. And although he noted that he is not strict, but because «Affiliate is a sport,» and not a warm office chair, his arguments were not accepted by everyone. Here is what other IT professionals think about his approach.

Hello! It’s #vsrativakansii again. And again, there are a few crony offers and HR stories that are being hotly discussed by IT people.

A few years ago, the profession of a producer was associated with show business, celebrities, and big money. Today, this is a person who explains to a senior with 10 years of experience that recording a video about bugs is more important than the bugs themselves. And rehearsing a webinar is more serious than a code review. If this seems like a simple task to you, try persuading an IT guy to re-record a lesson because of one mispronounced word. IT education has already turned into a separate industry, in which the producer plays one of the key roles. Darya Bilokon, Producer Team Lead of the Laba and robot_dreams online schools, told dev.ua about the profession and its features in the section on IT professions.

Justin C. Pearson, founder and CEO of recruiting service Mission Box Solutions, compared a virtual interview to a first date. That’s why he advises dressing to make an impression. What do IT professionals think about this and how do they dress for an online interview?

Many professionals have already realized that IT is not only about code, startups and remote work from anywhere in the world. It is also about money. Big money. And if you work in the industry, why not find out where there is the most of it? This question made me dive into numbers, trends and analytics — and now I share with you the most interesting ones.

Game UX/UI Designer Oleksandr Matkovsky asked in his LinkedIn post why a candidate would volunteer to do an unpaid test assignment for a company with which he had not even discussed working conditions. He provoked a lively discussion, to which Ksenia Larina, a marketer and CEO of Larination School, responded, explaining why she has only offered paid test assignments for 6 years.

A new work week has begun, bringing with it the hope of new achievements — and also the possibility of screwing something up, as happened to IT specialists who talked about their worst moments at work.
