Panel Discussion: What Are Hiring Managers Looking For in Candidates?

The DataLab, DataPhilly and RLadiesPhilly meetup groups jointly present a panel discussion with hiring managers in the fields of Data Science and Data Engineering!!

The job market for data related jobs is hot. But, job seekers usually find disparity between what recruiters say to what hiring managers really want. We hope to close this disconnect through this discussion and to help candidates better prepare for careers in data engineering or data science and to also help employers find better candidates.

Whether you are looking for a new job in data or are simply interested in what the hiring process looks like, come and ask questions to our panel of eight hiring managers. Stick around after the Q&A and meet these managers face-to-face.

Event Schedule:

1. Meeting opens at 5:45pm
2. Introductions (Starts at 6pm)
3. Panel Q&A (75 minutes)
   Moderated discussion on hiring practices and expected skills and experience.
4. Meet the Hiring Managers (30 minutes)
   Each hiring manager will have a separate room to meet interested candidates.
