SUMMARY:Navigating NZ’s Tech Scene
DESCRIPTION:Our panellists have been hiring and recruiting technology professionals for a long time now and some of the best hires that they have ever worked with are originally from overseas. We often meet people coming into New Zealand with excellent technical skills but lack the ability to sell themselves in an interview. In fact\, many of them are great but they are not familiar with the art of interviewing (especially with English not being their first language). They also get told that they don’t have enough local experience’ which is a classic reply. What does local experience even mean? Does it mean ‘culture/team fit’ does it mean ‘ability to speak English properly’ ? \nJoin our panel discussion to explore strategies for fair and inclusive hiring practices.
