Tired of endless recruiter conversations? Instead of juggling multiple recruiters, focus on building genuine relationships with one or two key recruiters who truly understand your market. This approach is not only more productive but also more enjoyable. How to choose the "right" recruiters: • Do they cover most of your target market? • Are they pleasant to work with? • Do they prioritise your interests over their agenda? Benefits of this approach: • Stop the endless cycle of recruiter conversations • Enjoy meaningful interactions (think coffee meetups and lunch discussions) • Receive tailored opportunities Find the right partners, and you’ll save time and effort in your search.

YOU MUST HAVE 2 YEARS OF COMMERCIAL RUST EXPERIENCE 🦀 What does this even mean? How can you accurately assess someone’s potential with a programming language just by asking how many years they’ve used it? We’ve partnered with a company that develops Autonomous Systems for the Defence industry. They code in a variety of languages including Rust, Python, and TypeScript. While hands-on experience with Rust in a commercial setting is nice to have, it’s not essential. This team is more interested in your contributions to open-source projects, the blogs you read during your morning commute, and the side projects you’re deeply involved with outside of work. As a Principal-level Software Engineer, you’ll spend 90% of your time coding and 10% mentoring an incredibly capable group of developers. 👨🏽💻 Principal Software Engineer 🚁 Autonomous Systems ⌨️ Talent Density: 65% of company are Software Engineers 📍 London 💷 £100,000 - £130,000 base + Equity Interested? Send me an email summarising your proudest project using Rust! 📧 [email protected]

Reapplying to a company you didn't get hired by before? It's definitely possible. But timing is key. In fact, I've seen many candidates get offers from the same company they previously "failed" at. Here's what you need to know: • Timing matters: Companies typically have a 12-24 month threshold before reconsidering past applicants. (don’t try after 6 months, your skills likely haven’t dramatically changed) • Late-stage advantage: Companies are more likely to give a second chance if you reached the late stages of the process previously. • Showcase growth: Highlight any new skills, experiences, or achievements since your last application. • Be strategic: Time your reapplication carefully, giving yourself ample prep time. The bottom line? Don't get discouraged. With the right approach, reapplying can pay off. Just be mindful of industry norms and be strategic. P.S. Always let your recruiter know about your previous applications - duplications can look bad for both parties. Alex Jouatte
