What makes a successful technical team?

[Joyzfsddt66]

Talk about how diversity plays a role in the process of hiring technical people. For instance, what kinds of challenges exist when the hiring process boils down to selecting someone with 8 years of experience vs 20 or more years.
That's diversity of years of experience, which is important for succession planning. There's also diversity of background, of domain experience. There's also personality diversity, not to mention gender diversity as well as "traditional" diversity: where you went to school, race, all of the other things we consider when we think about diversity.



In what ways does social media recruiting impact what you do for living?
Hiring managers need to be much more aware of social media and how that media bangladesh whatsapp phone number can help or hurt their recruiting efforts. I find that some candidates will never use Twitter but they will use LinkedIn, not realizing that LinkedIn is social media also.


Some hiring managers only want to review code on GitHub when they search for developers, and that's misguided. Not everyone posts their projects publicly. It's a problem.

Too many candidates don't understand how to use social media to enhance a job search. Even if they just searched for jobs on Twitter, that would be great. But too many don't.

As I blog and write my books, I find I have to introduce these ideas gently to both the hiring manager and the candidate. It's a challenge!
