Recruiting Engineers Video Testimonial: AppDynamics

You don’t need to be a rocket scientist or even in talent acquisition to know that recruiting engineers is hard work. Their specialized skills and technical minds make combining the right people to be the structured backbone of a company. And they are getting even smarter – literally bursting at the seams with innovative ideas. In this new era of technology, many engineers in Silicon Valley want to be the next Zuckerberg rather than work for him. So what separates the hired from the fired? How do you make your company stand out to engineers so your company can build an unstoppable team? Luan Lam, head of global talent acquisition at AppDynamics, has gained years of experience recruiting for several other bay area tech companies, including SuccessFactors and Informatica, and knows what works and what doesn’t. AppDynamics helps its clients monitor, manage and optimize all tiers of enterprise applications in real time. Luan realizes the importance of recruiting high quality at a low cost. When questioned about his recruiting initiatives for the previous year, Glassdoor learned he exceeded his goals. “We launched a campaign that was under $15,000 for the year with Glassdoor,” Luan shared. “We have hired about 20 engineers out of that at about a roughly $700 cost-per-hire.” “So far, of all the different recruiting means that we have, including LinkedIn, job boards, even our internal employee referral program, Glassdoor has proven to be the lowest cost.” Hear more of Luan’s experience with Glassdoor, launching internal surveys, increasing employee engagement and dropping knowledge bombs for building an inspiring company culture with happy employees.
