HR

It is often situation to receive some sort of request for an audience from a HR personal of a company.
This is good.
Dear HR who hunting for software developers, please note:

• Software developers are usually people who like to optimize and like laconic much.
• Software developer are people. This means they have a life. This means own life.
• Software developers are people who like respect.

These are suggestions for an HR to make productive talk to a software developer:

• In skype request and first message give information of who you are, which company you from.
• Also nice to mention where did you get the contact.
• In the first message you definitely should (this is strongest suggestion) to give a link to the most complete opening description (software developers can read fast such things) or provide the description.

You'll wonder how fast things going with such approach, because the first message of the software developer would be some sort of "interested", "no, thank you", or even resume file sending.

Please, note, that software developer should not be able to send you first message or even to type hi before he sees the message with link or full opening description.

Other good practices:

• Corporate style HR avatar icon with photo of recruiter in suite looking forward 
• To have a video in youtube with information about corporation and bonuses (time saver)
• Specify a salary range for each opening
