Chasing Unicorns: When Job Ads Demand Superhuman Skills, with Gaurav K
In this talk, Gaurav will reveal why the “perfect candidate” is a myth and how both employers and job seekers can benefit from a more realistic approach to tech stack and domain knowledge demands in hiring instead of searching for a “unicorn” who fits every requirement.
We will also be having a panel discussion after Gaurav's talk
Venue: Hosted at Inspire9 Coworking Space Richmond
