Conduct interviews at the hackathon
Some hackathons allow you to shorten the hiring loop by interviewing developers on-site during the hackathon.
Collect resumes from all hackathon attendees
Hackathon attendees tend to be a highly successful pool to recruit from - get access to resumes so you can follow up with them later.
Organize internal hackathons regularly
Regularly-scheduled internal hackathons can give your teams breathing room and something to look forward to during the year - and space to work on passion projects that can really accelerate your business.
Explore ideas through facilitated ideation sessions.
Working regularly on bringing your team's ideas about their work to life can be extremely rewarding and illuminate new product directions or problem areas to solve. We can help set up regular sessions to bring these ideas to the forefront.
Collaborate with virtual team members with hosted Collab Labs
Virtual team members often struggle with feeling disconnected from their co-workers or the job in general. We offer regular Collab Labs to help build unique relationships between co-workers, accelerating work and increasing employee satisfaction.
Incubate and accelerate viable hackathon projects
It can be challenging to take ideas produced at hackathons to the next level or find time to implement them. Our team can help you distill hackathon ideas into meaningful units of work that you can more easily integrate into your long-term planning.
