“People Want to Work on Cool Stuff”: Entelo Director of Engineering Colleen Noonan

Written by William Clarke | February 1, 2017 at 5:00 PM

On this episode of Hiring On All Cylinders, Entelo Director of Engineering Colleen Noonan joins host Rob Stevenson and Head of Recruiting Britt Ryan to chat about tactics for engaging candidates and building Entelo’s tech team. Tune in to hear how we’re diversifying our engineering department, why a deliberate, slower hiring process can lead to higher quality hires, and why the exploding offer doesn’t necessarily lead to good outcomes or long-term hires.

We also discuss:

  • The value of casual, public hangouts and events as a recruiting tool for diverse candidates
  • How junior, relatively inexperienced employees can become your most loyal and productive contributors
  • Why candidates genuinely (still) care about a compelling mission, cool technology, and a strong, supportive culture
