The Tech Trek

Fabian Frank - Planning for and hiring the right mix of technical talent

Listen Later

Highlights of my conversation with Fabian:

  • Hiring the best talent vs a specific seniority level
  • Hiring “scrappy” technologists
  • Allowing your senior engineers to grow
  • Calibrate team mix based on organizational goals
  • Find a balance as you need to shift your hiring needs (avoid whiplash)
  • A roadmap update shouldn’t require a complete alteration of the hiring plan
  • Revisiting interview questions quarterly as you grow your team

    • Meet: Fabian Frank is the VP of Engineering at Airkit, a customer experience automation platform. Before Airkit, Fabian worked at Salesforce and Yahoo.
