Last month, we hosted a leadership roundtable on scaling high-performing engineering teams. It turned out to be a great opportunity for attendees to not only learn from our CEO Chad, but to connect with one another, share challenges, and swap real-world lessons.
We’re doing it again, this time on a topic we get asked about constantly: how we hire.
On June 18, Chad will host a leadership roundtable focused on how we build strong Rails teams through thoughtful, fair, and effective hiring practices. He’ll walk through how we hire senior developers at thoughtbot: what’s worked, what we’ve improved, and how we evaluate both technical strength and alignment with our values and ways of working. We’ll open it up for group discussion and questions along the way.
This session isn’t a webinar. It’s a space to compare notes and sharpen your process alongside other engineering leaders who are hiring or preparing to.
What we’ll cover:
- How we evaluate senior Rails developers without relying on code puzzles
- How we reduce bias while keeping the process efficient
- Why we design every interview as a two-way conversation
- Tools and practices that help us scale our approach across a distributed team
- How AI is impacting the interview process
If you’re planning to grow your team, or want to improve how you hire, we’d love to have you in the room.
