Description
Most career workshops tell you what to do. This workshop opens the black box and explores why hiring decisions are made the way they are.
What really happens after you click “Submit Application”? How do recruiters and hiring managers identify standout candidates from hundreds of highly qualified applicants? And how are AI tools changing the hiring process? Join an experienced HR and recruiting leader for an insider’s look at how disruptive technology companies—from startups to global organizations—identify engineering talent and leadership potential. Through real-world examples and interactive exercises, you’ll explore what employers actually look for, how hiring decisions are made, and practical strategies to better communicate your technical and leadership capabilities throughout the job search.
Capabilities taught in this workshop: Developing Vision and Intention in Life and Career; Building Relationships and Networks
