Hiring Engineers in a Competitive Market
Summary
Hiring a talented and diverse pool of engineers in a competitive market is no easy task and has only become more complicated as we've moved to a distributed world. In this discussion, we'll talk about ways to identify the right talent, build a productive relationship with your recruiting partners, and how to ensure a positive candidate experience. Time permitting, we may also discuss: evolving interviews to test for the right skillset by role and level, navigating an internal hiring process, and how to close a candidate at offer stage.
