As someone who is currently looking for a job I can definitely relate to the troubling HR in software field. What I started doing is working on my own content to help recruiters decide if I am what they are looking for. I added more information about ME, what I am passionate about, what I was passionate about previously, and what I am looking for to my about page (https://getaclue.me/about).

This way, recruiters can decide if they like me or not. Another thing I started doing while reaching out to companies is saying that I am open to 3-6 months "tryouts" if you wish.

I feel like we should have more of those. I also realized that social media is very powerful for finding your way in 2018. Gone are the days of wanting to work at a Fortune N company because they are doing great work. Most of those unicorns turn into corp machines that they were trying to stay away from.

Another thing I started doing is looking for people that share my passion. Anecdotally, Forums, IRCs, Telegam and the such communities are definitely booming once again thanks to the dissolution of privacy.

One challenge - esp if you are someone who cares about software and software engineering field - you have to do A LOT more work on your own. I work full-time and I work when I get home. I don't see this changing.
