I’m a Tech Lead — how can I be an effective hiring manager?

​Hello! We’re Viktoriia and Alona from the VP Team.

​Viktoriia Prydatko: 22 years in tech. Built the first core engineering teams for Grammarly and Ring (acquired by Amazon). Hired top engineers for Vimeo, Massive, Starbridge, DRESSX, and MacPaw. One of the most trusted people among tech geeks.

​Alona Zolotoverkha: 7+ years of experience in tech. For the last 4 years, she’s been constantly hiring strong engineers for product tech companies in the US, LATAM, and Europe.

​Hiring managers are our most important partners in every search. The more aligned and effective we are as a team — the faster we close the position and find the right person.

​We know that being a hiring manager isn’t easy. As a tech lead, you have a lot on your plate, so anything related to recruitment can feel like a pain in the neck sometimes 🙂 But your role is crucial — and we’re here to help. To talk and support.

​Let’s meet for 30 minutes, and we’ll share structured tools you can start using every time you’re involved in a hiring process.

​You’ll get:

​• A current hiring process overview, with clear points where your role is critical

​• What to do if you’re unsure who exactly you need to hire (totally normal now — we’ll give tips)

​• Operational setup ideas to make your life easier (e.g. Calendly)

​• A practical feedback framework

​• How to run effective interviews — both for you and for candidates

​• And of course, we’ll answer all your questions

​See you!
