Great development teams build great software and have a ton of fun doing it. When building your team you don't just find out who is available with a matching skill set, you seek out people who will fit within your company/team culture and who will compliment the entire team. Let's talk about the great (and not so great) teams we've experienced and how to build that kick a$$ team we all want to be on (yes, I will ask you to participate!). I'll cover the qualities of the great teams I have been a part of and the approaches we took to building them with creative ways to find talented people, techniques for interviewing potential candidates for culture fit, and more. So get off LinkedIn and start really building your team!
