Arrive early to meet fellow participants and enjoy casual networking before the session begins.
19:00 - 19:30 Crafting Job Posts Engineers Actually Want to Read - Paul McMahon
For many engineers, a job post is their first encounter with your company. But too often, postings are little more than dry lists of requirements that fail to excite or inform.
As the founder of TokyoDev, and a software engineer myself, I’ve reviewed over 1,000 job postings aimed at international engineers in Japan. In this English-language talk, I’ll share key lessons on what works (and what doesn’t), including advice specific to Japanese companies writing in English.
19:30 - 20:30 Networking with Light Food & Drink
Continue the conversation over drinks and snacks. Exchange ideas, share hiring challenges, and connect with fellow attendees and the TokyoDev team.
