Bootcamp to Tech Lead: Find and cultivate gems for your team

Having a hard time finding talent for your teams? Is HR still requiring 4-year degrees? Does hiring people straight out of bootcamps feel risky? Ignore this rich source of talent at your own peril. As a current Director of Engineering and former CTO of a successfully acquired startup, my teams have hired, trained, and promoted Bootcamp graduates. Declining numbers of computer science majors, crushing student loan debt, and both the need and desire to recruit and retain women, minorities, and other non-traditional employees mean one thing. Consider alternatives – like Bootcamps!
