Hiring great engineers is hard, but this community is here to help. At this event, you'll connect with other hiring professionals and learn practical techniques to improve your hiring process.
Note: The presentation will be in English, but questions and networking are welcome in both English and Japanese. This event is only open to those directly involved in hiring engineers (e.g. Talent Acquisition Specialists, Hiring Managers, etc). If you're unsure whether you qualify, feel free to reach out.
Arrive early to meet fellow participants and enjoy casual networking before the session begins.
Most engineering hiring in Japan runs on a familiar loop: open a JD, call an agency, repeat. It works, until it doesn't. In this session, Jordan Jarjoura (Head of Product at ZooKeep, ex-Google Japan & Korea Engineering Staffing Lead, ex-Square Enix) breaks down the four moves that helped Google reduce agency dependency and build a self-sustaining engineering talent pipeline in one of the world's most challenging hiring markets.
We'll cover role definition before sourcing, Employee Value Proposition built for the candidate in front of you (not the company poster), name collecting as a sourcing strategy, and database re-engagement as your warmest pipeline. Come ready to discuss: the structured group session that follows will give you space to apply these frameworks to your own team's reality.
Continue the conversation over drinks and snacks. Exchange ideas, share hiring challenges, and connect with fellow attendees and the TokyoDev team.
