Title:

Hiring and Corporate Culture

Abstract:

Companies succeed or fail by their ability to wring a little extra from every employee. This is particularly the case in the context of software companies where the product is intellectual property. Without the intellects, intellectual property is meaningless. I will discuss various issues raised by my experiences of attempting to hire and attempting to be hired against a framework of corporate culture building.
