Thriving amidst hiring slowdowns by focusing on building high-performing teams.

Tune in for an insightful session with Anne-Laure Huin, VP of Engineering at Mollie and former Senior Engineering Manager at Uber. In this conversation, we dive into the challenges of scaling teams and hiring new talent in a changing economic environment. Episode highlights:* When scaling teams with limited resources, paying attention to the candidate’s alignment with the company’s vision and values can take you further than assessing tech skills only.* Shipping new features with limited resources requires a deep understanding of the investment vs. impact of the planned feature.* If you’re growing with junior hires, investing in effective onboarding and mentorship programs is crucial.* Promoting from within is a good strategy if the person is ready and well aware of the expectations of the new role. It’s important to distinguish management and individual contributor tracks as distinct career paths, each with different requirements and opportunities to grow.* Metrics are important and they give managers insight on what can be improved. However, managers play a crucial role in understanding and interpreting metrics, and it’s important to use them in context and not blindly trust them.---This episode is brought to you by Adeva, a global talent network that connects the world’s best companies with the world’s best tech talent.Adeva provides access to a global network of top-tier tech and product talent, ready to hit the ground running.
