Engineers often play a major role in hiring - in fact, it’s estimated that engineering managers spend 15% of their time on just recruiting. While it’s inevitable that engineers will spend some of their time on recruiting activities, too much time spent on hiring can be a drain on their productivity and innovation. 

How can you develop technical interviewing practices that minimize the time and energy required of your engineering team?

Join Ellen Markman, CodeSignal’s Director of Recruiting, and Michael Newman, VP of Engineering on August 25 at 10 AM PT/1 PM EST. They will discuss how to optimize your technical hiring practices, the importance of assessment design, and how to accurately and fairly evaluate candidates. 

You’ll learn:

Tips to drastically reduce engineering time spent on recruiting
How to build repeatable, role-relevant processes to meet your hiring goals 
Strategies for mitigating the time spent re-writing questions due to leaks

Secrets to Reducing Engineering Time Spent on Recruiting

According to a 2021 study, 93% of leaders agree that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) is a top priority, but only 34% think it’s a current strength in their workplace. What’s causing this disconnect?

To answer this question CodeSignal will be hosting a conversation with Jehron Petty, Founder & CEO of ColorStack, Ken Oliver, Executive Director at Checkr.org, and Sophia Yamauchi, Emerging Talent Programs Manager at Asana on September 21 at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET.  They will discuss how to establish successful hiring initiatives focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion, tools and techniques for sourcing a broader range of candidates, and creating an inclusive workplace culture. 

You’ll learn: 

- The biggest challenges organizations face today when it comes to diverse and inclusive hiring - and how to overcome them

Building an Inclusive Hiring Culture

Join Tigran Sloyan, CEO & Co-Founder of CodeSignal, for a conversation with Jennifer Shappley, VP of Global Talent Acquisition at LinkedIn. They’ll discuss qualities that make a great recruiter, how LinkedIn builds their talent funnel, and what the future of recruiting looks like.

What Makes a Great Recruiter?

Behind every early-career technical hire you make is an ecosystem that brought the candidate to your company: from the school or program that taught them the skills they need, to the recruiter that saw a potential fit, to the hiring manager that envisioned them on the team. 

With distinct but overlapping roles, how can this cross-functional network share knowledge and work together to better identify, engage, and hire the best talent? 

In this panel discussion, we will bring together perspectives from a Dean of a College of Engineering, recruiter, and engineering manager to share insights on how the broader hiring team can improve their process. 

You’ll learn:

- How top students are preparing for the job market and approaching their search
- What the common threads are between great students and great hires
- Strategies to strengthen relations with university and hiring manager counterparts

Going Beyond LinkedIn in Tech Recruiting

With over 1.4 million unfilled positions for software engineers in the United States, competition for technical talent is steeper than ever. And while a job opening for a junior-level developer can attract hundreds or even thousands of applicants, the situation is very different for mid- to senior-level technical roles. 

These positions often attract a lower volume of applicants and require targeted sourcing. How can you better identify qualified candidates and secure a coveted “yes,” faster than the competition? 

Join Tigran Sloyan, CEO & Co-Founder of CodeSignal, in conversation with Michael Newman, VP of Engineering at CodeSignal and Vivek Punjabi, Head of Talent at Bolt on Wednesday, March 30 at 9:30 AM PT.
