This week on the HR Happy Hour Show, we were joined by Vivek Ravisankar from HackerRank to discuss the rapid shift to 100% virtual hiring, how modern HR technology tools can support HR and TA leaders with fully remote hiring, and how remote work will enable many more companies to build deep and diverse teams and reduce bias. Vivek also shared his best tips and ideas for making better technical hires, especially for HR leaders who may not be tech experts themselves.  

Additionally, we talked about our favorite junk foods that we still admit to eating.
