Engineering better hiring practices

Engineers love the certainty of automated tests or data types. In an agile climate, engineers iterate on prototypes with technical spikes, and incorporate user feedback continuously into our products. If we are lucky, the engineering team can work to reduce technical debt. All these principles share the wish to continually improve our work process. How many of these ideas do we apply to the hiring process for engineering teams?

You can find a detailed description of the workshop on our site but the short version is that in four 2-hour sessions, we'll cover the following topics with discussion and activities:

• Scaling teams in the digital economy
• Building culture as you grow
• Diverse teams and the gender gap
• Career ladders
• Inclusive job postings
• Managing unconscious biases
• Hiring processes
• Interview processes
• Apprenticeships and internships programs
• Onboarding practices
• Retaining talent

The sessions are run 9.30 – 11.30am GMT+11 Tuesday through Friday. This makes them 5.30pm – 7.30pm EST Monday through Thursday.
