Let’s face it, given the chance to wax lyrical about ourselves, we’d portray someone we ought to be, rather than who we actually are. And in an industry where skills and proficiencies matter above all else, the resume seems to have made way for a more objective and transparent representation of a candidate’s skills. To help understand this paradigm shift, our CEO, Sachin Gupta is hosting a live interview with Jonathan Hansen, a Senior Tech Recruiter from Postmates. Together they will help answer some of the burning questions that a recruiter might have:
- Why is it important to hire for skills rather than resumes?
- How do you maintain a diverse workforce while hiring for skills?
- What are some creative screening techniques?
- What are 3 processes that have led to engineers choosing Postmates over other companies?
