I'm a director of engineering for a $2 billion company. These are my three rules for recruiting the best talent (via BusinessInsider)
To find the best talent in the market, Storm recommends diversifying the candidate pool.
However, recruiters may be crippling their search for the best talent by sticking to an outdated"ideal candidate profile," typically graduates from top-rated universities who have the skills to hit the ground running. The evolution of education and software development means your best engineer will not always fit that profile.
There is no linear path to becoming an expert in any field, and that certainly is the case for software development and engineering. When hiring you're looking for someone who will contribute meaningfully to your organization for years to come. Yes, the specific technical skills they bring to the table are important, but they shouldn't be the only qualifier. In fact, it is widely understood that if a person knows one programming language, they have the potential to learn others.
