to understand what the future may hold and how ReadyTalk can help
support women in technology. According to Wikipedia, the

backgrounds in agency recruiting and a year contract with Google,

was this a fun challenge, but we had the awesome opportunity to
create ReadyTalk Engineering Recruiting from the ground up. The
first step was to put a process in place that we... Read More » »
