Show Notes

Tech jobs are in huge demand, so as the interviewer you need to understand what you are looking for. How does your company compare to other companies the candidate may be looking at?

How to assess candidates on their work and the work you need to get done. Understanding what stage your company is at, hiring to address what is required now and down the road. The importance of creating a recruiting organization mindset.
