Despite the waves of layoffs, Gartner notes that demand for tech talent still outstrips supply, and predicts that this will be the case through 2026. Coupled with economic uncertainty, this means that building a resilient talent pipeline that fosters and attracts talent will be critical to the success of any team.

We’ll talk about how engineering leaders can support the recruiting team, for example:

  • How to foster relationships with organizations that have potential applicants (e.g., colleges)
  • How to encourage new pools of talent (e.g., supporting computer science education)

We’ll also talk about how engineering leaders can support new talent at work, including:

  • How to make the case for hiring junior engineers at smaller and larger companies
  • How to provide different on-the-job support for different applicant pools, ensuring that everyone can succeed (e.g., how to differentially support university vs bootcamp graduates)

Throughout, we’ll talk about how to build equity into the pipeline (e.g., looking beyond ‘brand name’ schools), setting up broader company DEI efforts for success.
