We're Only Human - An HR Podcast Turning Labor Market Insights into Talent Intelligence with Brian Jackson of Southwest Airlines
So we're looking at how the words are actually formed. When you're hiring for a technology manager, what does that mean? Are you looking for a technical technology manager? Are you looking for someone who grew up in the chops of software development, knows all of the full delivery life cycle, or are you looking for someone who's more project focused? If your job description isn't conveying those skills or that type of clarification in the job description, you're not gonna get the right person. You might get lucky. But when you're hiring at scale, you know you can't do that time and time again.
