hiring for success from a tedx speaker!
guest: john rouda, it director and part-time professor at winthrop university
- when hiring, weigh personality and team fit as much as technical skill since skill can be taught
- find talent at local meetups by watching who speaks and who stays after to talk, not just who shows up
- expect anyone in a senior role to mentor others, and ask candidates how they have mentored before
- build a portfolio and a personal website with your own domain to stand out with no work experience yet
- make your resume font and design slightly different from generic templates so it catches a hiring manager's eye
