EVENT DETAILS |
Hiring is hard, but hiring for startups can be even harder. When money is tight, credibility has yet to be established, & you have limited access to large pools of technical talent - luring the best & brightest can be a challenge for any founder. Understanding that the success of your startup depends on building a team of great people, what can you do to attract & retain top talent?
Jeremy Johnson is the Co-founder & CEO of Andela, a startup that builds & trains high-performing distributed engineering teams. He will share how to build a solid recruitment strategy that attracts top players & how to find & manage talent outside of your region. Jeremy will also discuss how to train & level-up junior teams to scale your business long-term when top talent is unattainable.
