In this 11-minute conference talk from LeadDev San Francisco 2022, Dan Johnson challenges traditional engineering hiring practices that focus primarily on technical assessments. Learn about additive hiring approaches that prioritize finding candidates who complement existing teams and fill critical gaps rather than simply meeting technical benchmarks. Discover practical strategies for implementing additive hiring across organizations of all sizes, from startups hiring their first engineer to large tech companies seeking staff+ level talent. Explore why attributes beyond technical skills often matter more for team success and how to identify candidates who will genuinely help push your engineering team forward in meaningful ways.
