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). Nobody’s got time for a floppy stack.

What if we took Extreme Programming and said it’s not “extreme” enough? What if we took pair programming and cranked it to 11? Mob programming is a technique with “all the brilliant people working on the same thing, at the same time, in the same space, and on the same computer.” I was lucky enough to be on a team for about year that worked “as a mob.” Come learn what practices we found to be critical, what obstacles we encountered and what practices became irrelevant during our experience.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lka7nsDsZk8 There’s real evidence that Agile software engineering projects work better than waterfall. In Silicon Valley, Agile is the de-facto standard for innovating new products. But an Agile project needs good product management and good UX design to succeed. Fitting UX in with product management and Agile can be uncomfortable for UX designers. Once you get it, though, you’ll never want to work any other way. We’ll look at: - Why Agile works well for innovation and for software delivery - What product management is and why your software product can’t succeed without it - The different product phases: Discover, expand and exploit - The role of UX in each phase - Setting up hypotheses and metrics to keep Agile teams on track
