 ll \n\n Talk: Stop Recruiting for Rockstars: The Skills You Really Want to
  Hire For\, and Why  \n\n In the race for talent and growth\, it can feel 
 urgent to find “rockstar” employees that will 10x your business. But a
 re we all falling prey to 100-year old assumptions when we set out to recr
 uit? Some of the most essential skills needed in modern companies are over
 looked\, undervalued\, and not listed on the job ads we all see. This talk
  will explain how you can change your hiring approach to target those over
 looked skills\, gaining a competitive edge in the hiring market that will 
 help you hire faster\, retain more team members and get stuff done. \n\n B
 io:  \n\n Danae Shell is co-founder and CEO of Valla\, an early stage star
 tup that helps people use their legal rights. She is also Managing Directo
 r of #ENTRYLEVELBOSS\, the career coaching centre of the future. A veteran
  of the Scottish startup scene\, she has scale-up and leadership experienc
 e in well-known startups like FreeAgent and Care Sourcer. \n\n Speaker:  T
 im Leslie (CTO\, Float) \n\n Talk: Real teams are rare  \n\n What's more i
 mportant to people in your team\, succeeding in their own tasks or achievi
 ng the team goal? Do you go into handover hell whenever someone leaves? Is
  being asked for help by a team member seen as a distraction? Real teams a
 re rare but in many organisation they do exist. This talk aims to shed som
 e light on the environment you need to create for your team to thrive. \n\
 n Bio:  \n\n Tim owns a tractor\, he commutes to work on an unreliable sar
 dine can and he loves his family and his job. He has been CTO at Float for
  about a year and he has a particular interest in culture\, organisational
  health and teams. \n\n Speaker:  Stuart Davidson (Senior Engineering Mana
 ger\, Skyscanner) @spedge \n\n Talk: Changing Change  \n\n If you thought 
 software engineers get excited about writing documentation\, wait till you
  see how enthusiastic they can be about change management! But for an indu
 stry that has more words for change than the Scots do for precipitation\, 
 why don't we take it more seriously? Let me walk you through an easy 10-st
 ep template and some examples of where I've used it in Skyscanner to manag
 e change across an organisation. \n\n Bio:  \n\n Stuart has been an engine
 ering leader at Skyscanner for over 5 years. He thrives on leading impactf
 ul change including: getting to over 10K deploys a day into production\; s
 eamlessly migrating a 500+ engineering organisation to a new version contr
 ol system\; and introduced a more resilient Kubernetes architecture servin
 g our core products. \n\n 🌟 Organisers \n\n \n Valerie Dryden (Director
