DeveloperWeek New York 2019

Have you ever found yourself struggling to build an engineering organization that is quality-driven with consistently great results? When we analyzed why we didn't feel our organization was performing at the level we had anticipated, we reverse engineered this to fundamental issues with our culture. Once we started working on this it had a ripple effect to our hiring process & then our onboarding process as well. This talk will dive into how we refactored our hiring process - and were able to build an interview machine, and rebuilt our onboarding from the ground up, to set up new hires for success from day one - enabling us to onboard successfully 10 new hires monthly, without organizational drag. This ultimately delivered a well-oiled high performing engineering organization through a practically applicable methodology that is easily replicable. This not only enabled us to improve the quality of our hires, but also retain excellent talent in the long-term.
