Code meets Culture: Engineering the Future of Hiring

July 11, 2025 11:40 – 12:10 · 30 min Stage 13

What this session covers

As AI and automation continue to transform how we source and assess talent, a parallel shift is unfolding; engineering leaders are emerging as the true drivers of tech hiring. This new reality goes beyond recruiter-led models, placing developers and tech leads at the center of the hiring process and the talent decisions.

This session explores what it really takes to scale world-class tech teams in a future defined by collaboration, ownership, and accountability. Whether you’re a recruiter or a software engineer, you’ll walk away with a new perspective on hiring, one that champions shared ownership, drives culture from the inside out, and builds a talent engine that is led by engineers and powered by Talent Acquisition.
