ThatConference 2013: Resumes, Red Flags, and Rock Stars: How to Hire a Great Development Team

Editor's Notes

  • #41 Show graph of increase in relationships by employee.
  • #59 Hiring on a contract-to-hire. 30 day trial period. We’ve done this with almost every hire.
  • #65 Remote debate.
  • #66 Marissa mayer: The culture sucked. She had to bring everyone in.
  • #67 I agree. Anything bad about an employee is only exacerbated if they are remote. Physical distance means more mental distance for some. We’re lucky in that our 4 current remote employees are the antithesis of it.
  • #68 Structure. For everyone.
  • #71 Finally, can’t patternize this. Need to cater to people’s strengths
  • #72 Finally, can’t patternize this. Need to cater to people’s strengths
  • #75 At the end of your presentation we would be grateful if you could help us announce next years date.
