The Great Tech Interview Playbook

About

Tech interviews are evolving fast — and for good reason. The best teams know that outdated whiteboarding or vague algorithm questions often fail to reflect the way engineers actually work. Today, great interviews are collaborative, contextual, and designed to reveal not just what candidates know, but how they solve problems in the real world.

This session explores how high-performing engineering and hiring teams are rethinking their technical interviews to better assess code quality, communication, and creativity. Learn how to design interviews that feel less like a trap and more like a conversation — and how to create a hiring experience that reflects the work and culture your team is proud of.

Whether you’re hiring for backend, frontend, data, or full-stack roles, you’ll walk away with practical insights to modernize your process and build better candidate signal from the start.
