Ask HN: Is there an equivalent of lean or agile for recruiting?

1 points by dlf ↗ HN
This is more or less a random thought, but I've noticed that recruiting has basically continued to do business the same way for decades with no major disruptions to their business process.

Everyone says that recruiting is broken, so is a fundamental change to the way recruiting is done be appropriate? If so, what would it look like?

Work with people in a freelance capacity first. It's kind of tricky because it can be perceived as dishonest. But as long as you're open and serious about it, and convey that to the candidate, it can work.

That's definitely interesting, but I was thinking more recruiting as an industry. That feels more like a recruiting hack, which may be where industry disruption starts.
