pattern/hiring-leverages-culture

[nyeates]

Human Resources department or hiring managers can use inner source and open source as a selling point to prospective candidates. These can be key to building and sustaining your target culture.

Mentioning it as "Inner Source (Internal Open Source)" may clarify to candidates who aren't familiar with the term. Also, mentioning full-out open source projects (if they exist in your org) may be 'sexy' to candidates.

From my own experience of talking to friends who work in tech outside of my company, InnerSource and especially our flavour of permissionless innovation was highly attractive. It also changed the perception of my company (not exactly a startup anymore). I think there's definitively a pattern in here.

I'm not so sure about the working title, though. How about Cultural-change-through-hiring or something along these lines?

Good to hear reinforcement. Ill move forward with it at some point and think of alternate titles - neither ring to me now (a few weeks later).

Playing devils advocate here :)
Given that this issue did not see any traction in 3 years, maybe we close it and wait for it to be reinvented if it is important?

I closed the associated PR, and linked to this issue from the pattern itself.
So if somebody wants to look up how the pattern was created, they can.
Closing this issue.
