The Agile methods don’t describe the Tester’s role; but that doesn’t doesn’t mean Testers have no role.

In fact, including a Tester on an Agile team can make the team even more effective and efficient at delivering valuable software to their customer.

Join Alan Koch (LinkedIn profile) and learn what the Agile community has learned as we’ve integrated Testers into Agile teams over the past five years or so.

You will come away with ideas for using the unique skills of your Testers to enhance your Agile development teams.

Do You Hire Seasonal Workers For Your Projects?

Every year, nearly every hiring team faces an urgent hiring challenge.

Whether brought on by a seasonal upswing, a new product, or a major restructuring, talent acquisition teams need to think fast and think differently.

For just this 2015 holiday season alone, outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas predicted retailers would add nearly 755,000 seasonal employees. For a talent acquisition team, any urgent upswing in hiring – whether its tens, hundreds, or thousands of new employees –  equates to more resume reviews, phone screens, interviews, collaboration meetings and more.

Add in a deadline and short time frame and the challenge just gets bigger.

With many teams facing their own resource challenges on a regular day-to-day basis, how do you effectively plan and execute to meet these urgent hiring peaks?

In this webcast,you’ll hear from three talent acquisition professionals who used video and voice interviewing technology to face this challenge head-on.

• Hear how Canada’s largest privately-owned transportation company hired hundreds of drivers and other field positions for the 2015 Pan Am Games, all within 8 weeks.
• Learn how this technology is uniquely suited to help HCA and Humana staff up their telephonic nurses and patient care liaisons.

Ashley Harris (LinkedIn profile) Talent Acquisition Partner, Hospital Corporation of America
