Manila, Philippines – On September 20, 2018, Kalibrr successfully hosted \u201cKalibrr Communities: Hack The Future\u201d, \u00a0the third of the company\u2019s Kalibrr Communities series.<\/em><\/p>\n

Held at the Kickstart Ventures headquarters, Kalibrr Communities is a monthly gathering of professionals, employers, and jobseekers who want to learn more about career development and innovations to the HR and Recruitment scene in the Philippines.<\/p>\n

Seeing an opportunity to understand the fast-growing tech industry that has given birth to a lot of startups in the country, the discussions at \u201cHack The Future\u201d revolved around how to find and hire qualified IT and Software professionals, and eventually, building talented tech teams.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To share some insights on how they developed their company\u2019s respective tech teams, Kalibrr invited its very own Chief Software Engineer, Tim Dumol, and By Implication\u2019s Co-Founder, Philip Cheang.<\/p>\n

Dumol talked about Kalibrr\u2019s hiring philosophy for their software and engineering teams.<\/p>\n

“As an employer, we aspire to be non-discriminatory.\u201d He placed great emphasis on the fact that one does not need to have a degree in Computer Science to pursue a programming career in Kalibrr. The company\u2019s software and engineering team is presently composed of a diverse mix: college dropouts, computer engineers, architects, etc.<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dumol shared how Kalibrr has developed a unique but simple recruitment process that has successfully generated good hires, starting with an initial assessment that helps filter out 97-percent \u00a0of applicants. Apart from technical skills and culture fit, Dumol emphasized how a key requirement for any team or company is a candidate who ranks passion over financial motivations, such as someone who finds actual joy in programming.<\/p>\n

Philip Cheang similarly shared the recruitment strategies he utilizes with his team at By Implication which initially started out with him and his group of friends he met at school who similarly wanted to solve societal problems through technology.<\/p>\n

Touching on the company\u2019s mission to \u201cbuild tools that bring order to chaos\u201d, Cheang discussed the advantages of being outgoing as a way of finding the talent they need. He discussed how attendance in public events, media coverage, and exposure to a target audience has helped By Implication develop its \u201cbranding beyond brand\u201d approach, and how the key characteristic they are looking in new team members are the individuals\u2019 genuine desire to become part of the vision that the company lives by.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The evening\u2019s question and answer portion was driven by numerous questions from the audience regarding tips for an IT career, workplace conduct scenarios, specific steps in suggested recruitment processes, and how non-tech companies can attract tech talents.<\/p>\n

Following the highly informative discussions, the rest of Kalibrr Communities: Hack the Future was dedicated to the community aspect of the event, as attendees got the chance to meet each other and socialize and have more informal discussions about their thoughts about tech recruitment practices, their respective industries, and more.<\/p>\n
