One silver bullet: Adaptability

Tech NGO partner:

Software is constantly changing. Headcount pressures mean we’re all spending too much time trying to hire exactly that one pedigreed senior engineer with the perfect experience. Deep down we all know we should be hiring more for adaptability and growth. AI changing the industry is making this more clear by the day. But people often still reach for pedigree over adaptability, because hiring for adaptability feels much harder.

Together we’ll explore how CodeYourFuture trains people with a focus on this adaptability and learning to learn, and how this can help you hire better people faster so you can focus on shipping and growing rather than recruiting and interviewing.

Key takeaways

• Learning to learn is the key skill everyone should be teaching, and recruiting for.
• You should be hiring for short- and long-term growth potential.
• Junior engineers can get a lot more done than you think.
• AI is changing the industry, but not as much as people say.
• CodeYourFuture is training amazing talent you want to hire.
