The power of social media can be harnessed by software engineers who believe they can change the world through technology. Social media has a world of possibilities for Software Engineers, including developer advocacy, influencer marketing, remote work, and compensated speaking engagements worldwide.
A positive impact on the technology ecosystem, building your brand and expanding your network can all be achieved through social media while making money. As a software engineer,
the struggle lies in establishing a personal brand and expanding your network across various social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and even TikTok. Your first goal should be to get your name out there and build a solid foundation for yourself.
Below are some of the ways to build your brand and increase your social media presence:
Blogging & Vlogging
An essential part of blogging is sharing your thoughts and feelings about what you care about. On the other hand, Vlogging is the practice of creating video content about your personal experiences, reviews, and feelings on various topics. You can use Blogging and Vlogging to show off your skills as a software engineer. People and potential employers want to see an overview of your work and skills, which is why you want to get them to come to your website in the first place. In addition to posting your blogs and vlogs on your website, you can also use other platforms, such as YouTube to distribute your content. Youtube is a great way to advertise and market your brand, and they’ll pay you once your channel is monetised upon hitting certain milestones in views and subscribers.
LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a must-have for anyone looking for a job or looking to expand their professional network. Many people have no idea how to take advantage of the platform to its full potential. Keep your profile up-to-date with a current professional photo and your most up-to-date professional information, including your current position, title, responsibilities, awards, education, and other relevant information. Make a slew of new friends who share your professional passions. Recruiters use industry/sector and job position filters to look for potential hires, so make sure you’ve updated your profile’s industry/sector and job position sectors.
Connect with Other Software Engineers and Professionals
Join Facebook groups for software engineers and other professionals. You may find much help from other software engineers by doing this. With this, you can connect with people who share your interests. Hiring managers also participate in these groups to find qualified candidates for their companies.
Advertise your Content and Brand
Investing in social media marketing requires a significant investment of time and money. Your content can go a long way if you use paid advertising on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. Ad packages are available on each platform, and you can select the one that best suits your ad campaign. Ads on social media will allow you to reach a much larger audience and provide you with data on how people are engaging with your content, both of which will help you improve your website’s SEO ranking. A solid social media presence can help you build a strong personal brand that will help you land a job and expand your network. Follow our tips, and good luck!

Hiring developers is difficult due to an insufficiency of qualified candidates. Nine out of ten people who took the survey said it was difficult to locate and hire qualified technical personnel. How about the other 90% of recruiters who don’t have trouble finding developers to work for them? Why do they have an easier time? Maybe they have different criteria in deciding if a developer is qualified or not.
The prevailing hypothesis is that recruiters are just saying it’s hard to find developers because they’re not looking hard enough. Perhaps it’s time to recognise that it may be harder than previously thought. At some point, the hiring process for technical positions got so complicated that what started as a simple process became almost impossible.
Is there a secret to finding the best developers? Hiring great developers is as simple as following this one rule: Know whom you’re looking to hire! While it may seem self-evident, the majority of recruiters and HR professionals do not have a thorough understanding of the developers. As a result, they have difficulty finding, attracting, and hiring developers. So, what can we do to comprehend the work of developers better?
Below are some ways to help you understand developers better and hire the right one:
Enhance your Technical Skillset Knowledge
Unless you come from the tech industry, it may be challenging to grasp the true nature of your search. Try asking yourself the following questions:
- Which skills are necessary for a particular job?
- What’s the difference between a Business Intelligence Analyst, a Front-End Developer, and a Back End Developer?
There are a lot of new programming languages coming out all the time, and these roles are growing quickly. If you don’t keep up with these rapid technological developments, you’ll miss out on a lot of opportunities.
Understand your Intended Audience and Study their Language
Establishing a detailed and accurate picture of your prospective target is critical here. The term “candidate persona” means the person you envision as the ideal hire in recruiting. Candidate personas taken literally could lead you to chase mythical animals.
You don’t have to pick up some sort of programming language. But there are a lot of technical terms used by programmers, and you need to know at least a few of them. If you don’t learn the fundamentals of programming, developers will doubt your ability to make an informed judgment about whether or not they are a good fit for a position.
Know their Wants and Needs
To get the attention of excellent developers, hiring managers should offer them something they don’t currently have or something better than what they have. It’s critical that you understand what drives developers. So, you must know what their deepest desires and aspirations are. Hiring managers must build a strong relationship with their potential developers in order to bring them into the company. Focus your recruitment efforts on that goal and personalise your recruitment process.
Finding the best developers for your company can be tricky; that’s why hiring managers should know what to look for in a developer and understand how you can find the best developers around. Follow the tips above and good luck!
