June 27 Boston - Agile Boston Monthly Meeting
Agile Hiring: It's a Team Sport
When you think of hiring for your team, do you think of paperwork, and endless interviews, wondering if this candidate is really right, and the difficulty in making a decision? You know the cost of hiring people is high, and the cost of not getting the right person is even higher. You can apply agile approaches to your hiring, iterating on everything in the hiring process, getting feedback as you go, and involving the entire team. Just as agile is a cross-functional and team approach to developing great products, you can make hiring a cross-functional and team approach to hiring the best people who fit your team.
Join Johanna Rothman, author of Hiring Geeks Who Fit, in this talk where she will explain how to have the team review resumes, interview, create auditions, and make the hiring decisions to ensure you have people who fit with the team. She'll also explain where and when it makes sense for the hiring manager to take the lead, such as for phone screens, organizing the interview, and the offer. If you have agile HR people, bring them, because we want them involved, and they have a place, too.
NOTE: The downtown event is being held at PayPal in Boston. To accommodate security, registration will be closed at 9:00 PM EST on Tue 6/25. Walk-ins will not be allowed to attend. Please be sure to register in advance for this event and bring a photo ID.
