Hiring in big tech may have slowed, but the value of making a good first impression has never changed.

According to a recent Harris Poll report on tech hiring trends, a growing percentage of software leaders (55%, up from 45% in early 2020) say that a strong engineer is worth at at least 3x their total compensation.

Even as the labor market shifts away from candidates and towards favoring employers, it remains crucial to ensure candidates have an incredible experience with your company. Top engineering talent will always have options, and ensuring that you make the best possible impression will help you snap them up.
