Summary

TokyoDev hosts a seminar at Tokyo Innovation Base where Jordan Jarjoura, Head of Product at ZooKeep and former head of engineering recruiting at Google Japan & Korea, shares how Google built an autonomous engineering hiring pipeline in Japan without relying on agencies. The talk covers four themes: position definition before sourcing, role-specific Employee Value Propositions, name-collecting as direct sourcing, and recycling your existing candidate database for the highest-converting pipeline. The presentation is delivered in English; Q&A and networking are bilingual EN/JA. The evening opens with reception (18:30), continues with the talk and group discussion (19:00–19:30), and closes with a networking session over food and drinks (19:30–20:30). The event is intended for people directly involved in engineer hiring such as recruiters and hiring managers.

About the community

A practitioner-focused seminar for in-house recruiters and hiring managers who hire software engineers in Japan. If you're tired of agency-driven cycles and want concrete frameworks — position definition, EVP design, name collecting, and database recycling — this is a chance to learn from someone who ran engineering hiring at Google Japan, then stay for bilingual networking with peers tackling the same problems.
