As with everything we do these days, we are going to be creative and flexible in the process of finding and recruiting the amazing talent that is out there, and discover who will be a perfect match for our culture and acceleration.

Glasswall is currently pioneering our own ‘Squads and Maps’ Framework, focused on creating products with a good release cadence, delivering value/features to customers, and in an environment where every team member makes a difference.

This Framework is inspired by the amazing ideas and concepts shared by Spotify Squad Framework, Wardley Maps, Teams Topologies book, Inspired book, and Cynefin Framework.

Along with our modern approach to Team and Communication structure and dynamics within our organization, we are also sitting on an up to date and relevant Technology stack and are continuously reviewing and updating how we work and what tools we leverage to ensure we stay on the forefront and embrace and adapt to the evolving landscape we operate in.

To make the process fair (i.e. avoid having to make initial selections based on traditional CVs) and to allow us to help all candidates (even if they are not successful), here is what we ask candidates to do:

  • Create a presentation about themselves (see this, this or this for an example)
  • Create a presentation with a Wardley Map (for example: about an industry, about you, or even about a cup of coffee). In this presentation, we also want to see the candidate’s experience of creating that map, the thought process, and the learning experience. You can use this to help, click on Sample Map for an example.
  • Provide an attack tree example of an attack on any IT system
  • Use Stride threat modeling technique to identify vulnerabilities, define countermeasures to prevent or mitigate the effects of threats to the IT system
  • Build a threat modeling “Data Flow Diagram” using your findings
  • Then apply at http://careers.glasswallsolutions.com/

We have three main objectives with this recruitment process:

  1. Make all candidates better by exposing them to modern ideas and workflows
  2. Create a learning opportunity for all candidates (which is one of the key metrics that we will be using when selecting the candidates)
  3. Create a fair process to find talent that otherwise would be missed

Please share this post with your network and help us to find amazing talent that wants to learn a lot and make a massive difference.
