Highlights of my conversation with Fabian:
- Hiring the best talent vs a specific seniority level
- Hiring “scrappy” technologists
- Allowing your senior engineers to grow
- Calibrate team mix based on organizational goals
- Find a balance as you need to shift your hiring needs (avoid whiplash)
- A roadmap update shouldn’t require a complete alteration of the hiring plan
- Revisiting interview questions quarterly as you grow your team
Meet: Fabian Frank is the VP of Engineering at Airkit, a customer experience automation platform. Before Airkit, Fabian worked at Salesforce and Yahoo.
