This week Bryan is joined by Plow Networks' newest Senior Engineer, Kevin Phillips. In honor of Kevin joining the company, Bryan wanted to have a conversation about his experience with the recruiting and hiring process in the technology industry since he just went through it himself. This wouldn't be a CT$ episode if they didn't talk about the good and the bad so we hope you enjoy this no "BS" take on what this process looks like from the perspective of someone who just went through it.
