The document discusses how to help recruiters become more knowledgeable about technical roles and technologies. It recommends that recruiters research the job, technology, company, engineering roles, and related terms to better understand requirements. Recruiters should learn as much as possible about different technical functions so they can screen candidates more effectively by recognizing strong and weak fits for roles. Understanding typical job duties will also help recruiters source resumes and write targeted search strings.
You Canât Have One Without the Other
You know the story. Over the last few years, we have seen silos forming between sourcing and recruiting.
Each side feels they are the more important function.

Michael Goldberg, Founder and CEO of Hiring Transformed, has made a living out of understanding the sourcing-recruiting relationship and has agreed to give you 60 minutes of uninterrupted, live counseliâŚtraining.
Letâs call this training.
Heâs known for his ability to build kick-ass Talent Acquisition teams and has been doing it for many, many years. If you donât believe us (and you somehow donât know who he is) check him out.
Hereâs what youâre going to learn.
1. How to eliminate the blurred lines.
2. How Recruiters and Sourcers can work more effectively together.
3. What sourcing and recruiting managers, as well as Heads of Talent, can do to eliminate the riff.
4. What recruiters in smaller companies (with no sourcing functions) can do to build their sourcing skills.
What do you say?
All you need is an open screen and a box of tissues. Weâll handle the rest. Youâll go home with the tools to create a truly functional partnership with your âother half.â
Once, the way to an engineerâs heart was a fat salary, a fatter pile of stock and a sleek new laptop.
Today, a companyâs culture, employer brand and product or service count just as much when recruiting this in-demand workforce.
In fact, a Glassdoor survey says 52% of engineers would accept lower compensation to work at a company with a cool reputation. Thatâs good news for companies in retail, manufacturing, healthcare and other industries not typically thought of as high-tech.
Looking for a few good engineers? Join us for âHow to Recruit Tech When Youâre Not a Tech Company,â where weâll explore:
Best and worst recruiter tactics revealed by engineers themselves
The importance of company reviews, social media outreach, friends and meet-ups in winning the hearts and minds of engineers
Recruiting and hiring engineers in a competitive landscape
Itâs Over.
It Came. It Went.
Now, we DEMO.
Hours spent sourcing with the same half-baked strategies and tactics. The frustration. The head banging insanity feeling that you get trying to fill the same slate of candidates over and over with little success.
Is this how you want to source?
Nope. (at least I donât)
Weâve put together what we consider to be the absolute best sourcing webinar in the history of sourcing webinars.

Custom Search Engines with Ryan Leary and Ronnie Bratcher
Hereâs what we are covering (in-depth)
Exploring other Search Engines (like, outside of the Googs). Stating the obvious, when using a search engine, most people use Google as their default tool.
Believe it or not, there are so many alternatives to find different subsets of data that potentially might not be indexed on Google.
In this session, Ronnie will introduce a few favorites and show you how they work, giving you the sweet gift of awareness to explore other search engines in existence.
Yes. THEY DO EXIST. ďą
Youâll take this back to your desk immediately:
A new arsenal of active and little-used search engines with the playbook on how and when to use them.
Ronnieâs specific workflow for each search engine.
An understanding of how to use each search engine to target and connect with your key prospects.
A refreshingly easy source to use when you are stuck with no prospects to present to your hiring managers.

How To Optimize Your Tech Recruiting Stack
Patrick Christell, Senior Sourcer at Hire4ce, meets all the qualifications of âMASTER.â
Weâre talking a Full-Lifecycle Recruiter, Project Manager and Agile sourcing pod-builder with seven-plus years of progressive experience recruiting for technology companies across the boards.
He also has a rather impressive tech stack, which is what this is all about.
Patrick is here to give you 60-minutes of training and live Q&A that will help you learn to recruit top talent.
In this webinar we will cover:
- How to search.
Tools like Hiretual, Seekout, AmazingHiring (and their plusses and minuses).
The difference between searching for senior-level engineers, how to know if you are on a purple squirrel hunt, and what to with a BONUS live demo that iterates a single string.
- How to run a sourcing pod.
Learn how Patrick creates his own CRM that can do outreach and reporting
- How to understand tech without being a techie.
What a software stack even is, understanding how it fits together, learning what each part of the stack technologies are associated with.
- How to engage talent.
Why a mixture of broad spectrum outreach and personalized outreach is best.
What cadence works best in 2019.
Why only using inmails screws you, and how to leverage the phone even if you hate using it (TextNow).
Nobodyâs got time for a floppy stack.
Let Patrick show you how to build in functionality and results.
Many product people overlook the importance of providing their users with a positive first-time experienceâor they just donât know how. As a result, signups never become customers. But you can improve your onboarding experience and turn signups into sales (weâll show you how).
In this workshop, you'll learn:
1. Why it's important to provide users with a positive first time experience
2. Common mistakes people make that cause them to lose users in the signup stage
3. Techniques to get users to come back and convert to paying customers
4. How to persuade your team to prioritize user onboarding
Every software team writes code, but some teams produce fewer bugs than others. Every software team creates new features, but some teams develop them faster than others. What do high performance teams do differently, and why are team members more focused, satisfied and relaxed? They truly work together. No 10x rockstar programmer can achieve what a well rounded, enthusiastic team can.
Sven examines how the best software teams set and follow goals, integrate new members fast, ensure diversity, monitor and continually improve team health, embrace transparency, use a playbook to guide them through every phase of development and much more. He shares techniques including: bugfix rotations, OKRs, feature buddies, open demos, focus days and many more that help teams and team members to work more effectively together, and produce awesome results.
Smarter search drives value to your business. Delivering search that matches users to the right content is what you care about. But organizations often get stuck getting there. It turns out that you need quite a number of very different ingredients to deliver tremendous search. It can make your head spin! To help you think through where your team is on its road to smarter search, Pugh introduces the maturity model used by OpenSource Connections and walks you through a very concrete method to inventory needed skills and translate that into search roles for your team. He shows how to measure your capabilities in key areas of search to drive better ROI from search.

At this joint NYC Cloud Foundry and NY PHP meetup, we'll discuss the shift to Platform-as-a-Service and what it means for PHP development on the cloud.
First, we'll take a look at the "traditional" cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (virtual servers and disks) model and describe how Platform-as-a-Service builds upon it to provide the runtimes and data services for hosting PHP applications.
We'll then demonstrate how a PHP developer can use buildpacks and services within a Cloud Foundry PaaS to deploy scalable and resilient apps to his or her cloud of choice.
Along the way we'll compare the variety of buildpacks available to PHP developers, show techniques for binding to services, and highlight best practices for creating born-on-the-cloud apps based on a microservices architecture.
Special thanks to Dan Mikusa for helping with the buildpack comparison.
PHP developers: Please give all three build packs a try. Provide your feedback and submit pull requests on GitHub.

9 Tips on How to hire Tech Talent when you are not a TechieInterview Mocha
Â
Looking for the tech talent, without being a tech expert yourself can be difficult. Here are few ways on how to hire tech talent that can help you find the great developer.
How to land your first job in tech without an engineering degreeStuti Verma
Â
Although, formal education helps in creating opportunities for first job but it is not necessary to have a degree in computer science, math or other STEM fields to get a job at a tech company. In todayâs fast-paced technology industry, most of the information of the world is never more than a few clicks away and where things change so fast, education must in fact be a life-long process and not the learn-once-use-forever one-off process. Therefore, relevance of a degree is easily compensated with relevant skills combined with business use-cases and projects.
In this talk, we will discuss about the roles and opportunities in the tech industry and why skill-driven approach changes mindset of the recruiter. It will include how one can break barriers of academic limitations, tap into opportunities through soft skills and networking, choose to slip into the job they want rather than slip away. Concluding it with useful resources and hacks to network better to land into opportunities life-long.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Â
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

about Mark Tortorici
5. whatis the problem?!
When you search for engineers with Big Data
experience, does your string look like this:â¨
engineer AND (âbig dataâ OR âgiant dataâ)!
6. whatis the problem?!
When you search for engineers with Big Data
experience, does your string look like this:!
8. whatis the problem?!
Yeah Brain,
basically itâs a bunch of
computers up in
a cloudy sky?
Pinky, are you
contemplating the same
thing that I am
contemplating?
When you talk to candidates about Cloud
Computing do you feel like this?!
9. whatis the problem?!
Screening candidates for technology experience
can be difďŹcultâ¨
Sourcing for the technology can be just as difďŹcult!
10. what is the solution?!
Understand Tech!!
A recent Careerbuilder survey
said that one in four candidates
were dissatisďŹed with the way the
recruiting process was handled!
Of course the number one reason
is still submitting their resume and
never hearing anything again!
11. what is the solution?!
Understand Tech!!
But the other main
reasons included:!
â˘âŻBeing sold a job that
wasnât a ďŹt for them at all!
â˘âŻNot having a good idea
about the technical
screening that would occur
during the onsite interview!
12. do we do this?!
how
We know:â¨
Recruiters and
sourcers arenât
computer science
graduates or
engineers (though
that would be
nice!)!
13. do we do this?!
how
But we need:!
The gaps
between
candidates and
recruiters to â¨
be bridged!

cannot change unless you write your own.
