Attendees also heard from recent college graduates on their experiences and preferences as job candidates. These insights highlighted the current state of the relationship between tech candidates and recruiters. <strong>[IMPORTANT NOTE: <\/strong><strong>While Dice&#8217;s user base of tech professionals was surveyed for this study, we believe the findings are reflective of many target groups, and in particular millennial talent.]<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:5px\">  <\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:5px\">There were two major takeaways from the 2015 Tech Candidate Sentiment Survey as compared to 2013:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Only 50% of survey respondents said that they wish recruiters would do more research on them and their background before calling, as compared to 63% in 2013. This is the only category in which we saw a significant  decline. Since 2013, recruiters have used tools like Open Web to get a 360-degree view of a candidate.<\/li>\n<li>Tech candidates understand that recruiters use publicly available data to research candidates and get a \u201ctotal person\u201d view before making that first call to provide a better candidate experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With Dice\u2019s Open Web, recruiters can gain access to complete profiles with richer data on tech candidates. These profiles offer the insights that recruiters need to effectively identify, engage, and recruit the candidate. Open Web makes tech recruiting easier by bringing together social data from the 130 sites that matter most and presenting the data in a way that\u2019s simple to act on. It\u2019s a big data platform made for busy tech recruiters.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The relationship between tech candidates and recruiters Dice recently partnered with the Partnership for Public Service and TMP Government to host the \u201cMission-Critical Occupations: Build Your Agency Talent Pipeline\u201d interactive workshop.
