Hiring engineers

2025

Ukraine

💼 Hiring isn’t just about finding talent — it’s about building a process that aligns with business needs, team culture, and growth.

During this meetup, we discussed:

  • How to prepare for hiring: defining roles, budget, and timeline
  • What really works in sourcing: referrals, tech schools, events
  • What an effective hiring pipeline looks like — from the first call to onboarding
  • How CTOs and tech leads influence the process and delegate responsibilities
  • Why team chemistry is sometimes more important than technical expertise

Want to hire the best tech talent? Hear what seasoned professionals recommend.
