It seems that William Uranga, TiVo’s senior director of staffing, is fairly well impressed with the new LinkedIn Recruiter functionality. But what I found most interesting, probably unsurprisingly given my interests and the focus of this blog, are the TiVo hiring stats revealed in the article. 30% of new hires come through employee referrals. 17% come from networking/niche boards. 23% come in via TiVo’s website. Temp-to-perm conversions account for 9%, as do internal transfers. And agencies account for 10%. And it helps to be experienced if you want to work for TiVo:

“Hiring here at TiVo tends to be very boutique,” Uranga explains.

“The majority of hires here at TiVo tend to be in the experienced column, and to that end, we’re typically looking for people with a minimum of three years in a particular field,” he says.
