About the Content
In today’s labor market, the talent pool is shrinking, and currently, only 19% of software developers are women, and only 6% are Black [1] [2]. Lesser-known organizations are struggling to grow diversely while competing with Big Tech that offers better brand recognition, perks, and pay.
By shifting the focus to early engineering talent, software engineering leaders can confidently source diverse, skilled new employees without compromising on their hiring goals. Organizations who expand their search to include early engineering talent have access to nearly 200,000 recent grads with engineering degrees and untapped alternative learning programs, allowing them to gain a leg up over the competition.
On September 21st, our panelists will share strategies for building relationships with underrepresented groups of engineers and standing out from the competition with Big Tech.
Discussion Topics
- Sharing recruiting and hiring success in the fierce competition for young engineers
- Defining the benefits of building diverse teams with early talent instead of only targeting more experienced candidates
- Hitting engineering hiring targets by attracting Gen Z to your brand
- Using nontraditional sourcing avenues for new engineering hires
- Leveraging virtual recruiting strategies to access underrepresented groups
