Career Fairs, Hackathons and Meetups, Oh My!

One of the most important things that we’re focusing a lot of our time and energy on right now is hiring some world-class developers. When you’re in the stage that we ‘re in right now meeting some devs who want to work on some serious (yet fun) game-changing stuff is the name of the game, so we’re kicking our hiring into high gear by hitting the road. Here are some things that we’ve been involved in and will be involved in as time goes on and we continue our hunt for the best-of-the-best and if you’re making your way to one of these, too (or know of something that we should have on our radar) please let us know in the comments so that we can connect up.

SiliconValley NewTech Meetup (in Palo Alto)
We headed out to the SiliconValley NewTech Meetup last week to look for some talent. We met some amazing people, got some decent leads on a few developers and hung out with Vinnie Lauria, who has now been running the meetup for four years! If you are ever looking for some great connections in the tech scene, Vinnie is the guy you need to know.

As you can see to the left, we’re actually a sponsor of this event now — we’re more than happy to help out Vinnie with what he’s doing with this event. It’s always free and it’s always packed, so be sure to RSVP early.

BASES Technology & Entrepreneurship Career Fair (at Stanford)

We’re all heading out to the BASES Technology & Entrepreneurship Career Fair over at Stanford this afternoon from 11am-4pm so that we can mix and mingle with some of the uber-smart Stanford students. As you all probably know, one of the main reasons that Silicon Valley became Silicon Valley is because of Stanford, so needless to say there will be a lot of talented developers that we are looking forward to meeting while we’re there.

The Hacker Fair (at Hacker Dojo)
This upcoming Saturday, January 16th me and the rest of the isocket crew are heading out to The Hacker Fair, which is being hosted at the super-cool Hacker Dojo in Mountain View. We’re happy to be a sponsor of this event that takes the normal, everyday job fair and flips it upside down by allowing the hackers to man the booths and the business recruiters to do the shopping.

If you’re planning on heading out to any of these events be sure to find us. We’ll be the one’s rockin’ the isocket swag.
