Why Hidden Network?

Nothing against big job boards—depending on your needs and the size of your company, they can be invaluable tools. But because they cast such a wide net, they’ll give you way too many of the poor, the tired, the huddled masses yearning to breathe your office air. After you brave your overflowing email inbox, you might find a few qualified people—but you’re unlikely to find the best of the best. Because the very best candidates are likely to have a network of co-workers and colleagues, present and past, perhaps dating back to college, that serves as their resource for job contacts and behind-the-scenes career moves.

Hit ‘em where they read

Typical blog readers and zine subscribers are successful professionals--a distinct, desirable and significant demographic. They’re interested in the news, stories, gossip, updates, industry trends, opinions, rants, and other factual and editorial content provided by these powerful resources, because they’re written by insiders who are similarly passionate and involved in their respective field. They’re being entertained and/or gathering information—but they’re not there to job-hunt. They’re the people you want.

Finding the one

Finding an outstanding person is what it’s all about. Take the IT field for instance. Hiring a great programmer is the best thing you can do to make your technology-based company succeed. Arguably, he or she will be worth a pile of merely good programmers. Put them on a project and you cut way down on misunderstandings, meetings, having to align people’s schedules, as well as potential rivalries or politics. Not to mention management time is also reduced. Hidden Network helps you find the person that’s worth their weight in gold—or well-written code.
