KICK OFF THE NEW YEAR RIGHT

You’ve got your 2017 headcount and budget. How are you going to tackle finding and qualifying tech candidates in this crazy competitive market?

You do that by beefing up your tech recruiting skills at the
TECH RECRUITER CONFERENCE! February 16th & 17th, 2017

WHAT IS THE TECH RECRUITER CONFERENCE?

http://www.techrecruiterconference.com/

The Tech Recruiter Conference is the ONLY recruiter conference that brings you EVERYTHING you need to know to truly be an effective tech recruiter.

Elevate your skills from simple keyword matching and lots of frustration to truly understanding tech roles, tech candidates and how to collaborate with technical hiring managers.

WHAT AM I GOING TO LEARN?

Recruiters will leave the conference with a root-level approach to understanding the fundamentals of roles and candidates in order to facilitate more effective outreach and screening practices:

• Foundational understanding of what technical roles do across the software development process (UX, Product Management, Front-end, Back-end and Infrastructure Engineering)

• Contextual thinking methods to optimize the process of onboarding of new roles and screening candidates

• How to engage and qualify engineers more effectively, from engineers themselves

• Interviewing methods that improve the signal-to-noise ratio

• Recruiting strategy best practices

CONTEXTUAL THINKING FORMAT

Contextual thinking in the recruiting process is an approach that fosters a 360 degree view of an open role or of a candidate. This approach creates a structure of understanding from the candidate’s point of view, leading to more effective interviewing and new role onboarding processes.

Attendees will hear from tech leads from across the 5 pillars of software development. Each presenter will share a story that exemplifies a typical project they work on, from the perspective of their role as the technologist. Each story has it’s basis in journalistic questions, which fosters the 360 degree contextual thinking approach.

Following the presentations, attendees will take part in workshops where they will create role personas based on one of the technologist roles presented. This transitions the learning from theoretical to practical and helps the attendees practice contextual thinking at a foundational level.

We will also be hearing from recruiting leads on strategy around tech recruiting outreach to passive candidates, interviewing techniques to improve the signal-to-noise for recruiters, and small process changes that can have a big impact on recruiting success.

EVENING EVENTS

Recruiting is fun! It’s all about making connections, getting to know people and expanding your own understanding in the process. With that in mind, we will wrap up each day with a socially interactive event.

Thursday, Feb. 16th

We will have a round robin happy hour with 25 technologists from across the 5 pillars of software development. Attendees will get 5 minutes per table to ask contextual-based questions they just learned to try to determine what the technologists’ specialty is. The attendee with the most correct answers wins something cool.

Friday, Feb. 17th

“Everything you’ve ever wanted to know from a technologist, but were too shy to ask” tech panel. We’ll have a diverse group of technologists, to answer any remaining questions you might have. This is a fun and lively group. The conversation will certainly be entertaining and informative.
