What this session covers

AI made the best engineers 10x more valuable, so it pays more than ever to hold out for the right hires, the truly great ones. But great talent is global, and most teams still cross off brilliant candidates for one reason: distance. This talk shows how to fix that bug and hire the best engineer for the role, wherever they live.
