How Our Values Shape Our Hiring Process
At Techie Talent, we put people-first in our hiring process by moving away from conventional methods such as multi-step technical interviews, intensive live-coding sessions, or take-home challenges that may not address the actual challenges of the job opportunities.
Instead, we focus on uncovering each individual's true potential by understanding the person behind the résumé and what truly motivates them while respecting everyone's time. We align expectations through straightforward and clear communication, putting all the cards on the table, and exploring the opportunity to work together from the very start.
In addition to uncovering motivations, we also take the time to understand each individual's core beliefs and values. We believe that true alignment involves more than just matching skills—it’s about ensuring that our principles and ways of working resonate with one another. This deeper connection allows us to build teams that excel and are united by shared values and a common vision.
We are connection builders, not position fillers.
Through various strategies, we actively seek to stay in sync with the true needs and challenges of people in technology. We aim to add value by sharing resources and perspectives to support developers in their challenges. As we connect with individuals, we find that many are naturally drawn to our culture and want to be part of the change we are driving, forming a community around our shared values.
Some of our initiatives include:
Live Sessions: 'A Space for Open Dialogue'
At Techie Talent, we believe in the power of listening to people. That's why we regularly host live sessions designed to create an open space where software developers can share their needs, concerns, and aspirations.
Our goal is to understand what developers need to thrive in their careers and put our empathy into action. These sessions allow us to share our insights and resources to support developers on their journey and learn from their experiences, strengthening our shared values and mutual understanding.
Webinars
We offer targeted webinars in response to needs identified within our community, such as employability, market research, and job search, among others. These events are designed to address relevant topics and provide practical tools to support professional growth and skill development.
Session: 'Ask Your Recruiter'
In these sessions, we address all the questions from our community in an open Q&A format with our recruiters. We receive live questions from the community as well as those submitted through the forms we share. By answering these questions openly, we aim to provide transparent and helpful responses, ensuring that we address the most relevant concerns and inquiries. This approach allows us to directly address the needs and interests of our community and provide immediate, clear answers.
One-on-One Sessions
In addition to our live sessions, we deeply value more personal interactions. That’s why we’ve introduced open-agenda one-on-one sessions designed to meet people in a setting free from specific agendas. We believe that the best relationships are built on authenticity and genuine connection. During these sessions, we engage in a more personal and direct exchange of perspectives. The spontaneity of an unexpected encounter opens the door to limitless possibilities. Each conversation has the potential to exchange ideas, discover unique perspectives, and offer our resources and viewpoints.
Honest Conversations: Foundation for Effective Recruitment
We prioritize open and transparent conversations instead of traditional interviews. We clearly communicate our value proposition and provide all information with honesty and transparency. This "cut-to-the-chase" approach allows both parties an efficient way to align expectations from the start, focusing on building long-term relationships.
By creating a space of trust and openness, we ensure that both the candidate and our team can make informed decisions based on a clear understanding of each other’s goals and values regarding the potential for working together.
This approach in our hiring process sets the foundation for strong, enduring partnerships and contributes to the overall success of our projects and our teams.
The Impact of Value-Focused Hiring
At Techie Talent, hiring for values is the core of building strong, high-performing teams. We believe that when our people share the same principles, we unlock something greater than individual achievement—we create a collective force that drives real innovation and change. By trusting our people as key stakeholders, we lay the foundation for trust, transparency, and bold collaboration. Together, we push boundaries, break new ground, and build something bigger than ourselves—fueling innovation that shapes the future. Join us, and let’s drive meaningful change together.
