World Congress 2025

Putting Developer Experience at the Heart of Tech Recruiting

July 11, 2025 09:00 – 09:30 · 30 min Airstream 2

What this session covers

In this talk Linda & Markus (Experience One) and Jannis (Finanz Informatik) will unpack how an authentic depiction of your company’s developer experience can reinvent your tech recruiting strategy. They will underscore the importance of moving away from overly-polished portrayals of your company and towards genuine representation of the developer’s work and journey. It’s about how your current tech team feels about working at your company, what are they passionate about and how closely that matches what you communicate to potential recruits. In essence, this talk advocates for a shift in perspective - start with the actual developer experience and work backwards to shape your recruiting strategy.
