The technology isn’t always as effective as it sounds, though, and talented applicants can often be overlooked or not accounted for at all.

There are two types of people in this world: those who care about job titles and those who don’t. All joking aside, what you refer to your potential and current employees as can make a difference. For example, if you’re writing a job posting for an open role on your team, the job title is a huge factor in who applies. The terms “developer”, “programmer”, and “engineer” are often used interchangeably to describe the same type of employee, but do they really all mean the same thing?
