This, my friends, is what it's like to be a technical recruiter in a hot technology market, such as San Francisco or Austin and why your company isn't growing. Your VP of Engineering wants to hire a software engineer with NodeJS experience. After all, a quick LinkedIn search shows over 122,000 people worldwide list themselves as software engineers or developers with NodeJS. The pool of 31,000 drops to 3,000 because your company is only able to accommodate local candidates. From the perspective of a software engineer, working for a company that allows this type of flexibility is desirable.
