Fabian Frank - Planning for and hiring the right mix of technical talent

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.
