PlayStation VR is being released and it’s another step in the games industry (since I played on ZX Spectrum just 30 years ago). We’re looking forward to seeing Virtual Reality disturbing other industries (healthcare, construction, education etc). We reviewed the VR industry history, trends and analysed tech talent distribution in the biggest markets.
Enjoy it (in 2D)!

Hiring Database Developers

TB4HR Team

0

All of us have used some kind of database, at least once in a lifetime. Collection of data in the Excel spreadsheets, Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), or contact lists in our Gmail mailbox are the most obvious examples.

If you want to manage those information, analyze them and generate reports based on those data, you need to use a Database Management System (DBMS). It’s a software that will help you with that. One of the first DBMSs, IBM IMS (Information Management System), was launched in 1966 and was designed for Apollo program. IMS helped in the inventory of huge amount of bill of materials needed to build Saturn V moon rocket and Apollo space vehicle.

That’s a cool, geeky stuff, but what does it mean for the recruiter?

As the new types of databases are still created (e.g. NewSQL) and the number of information, which needs to be managed or retrieved increases in a geometry rate, some of the companies decided to create brand new role: Database Developer. Don’t confuse it with Database Administrator, whose responsibilities are a bit different. Developer designs and develops new features or programs that will cooperate with databases, as well as improves their performance. Where to look for those professionals? Take a look at our presentation!

This presentation will give you a bit of overview on the databases topic, how they’re divided and what SQL stands for.

Toolbox for HR  is growing! We have recently moved to a fantastic and spacious office. The new office will allow us to accommodate our fast-growing team that helps to scale tech startups all around the world.

Our new office is situated in the center of Warsaw, just off Vistula river in a fascinating and modern building of The University of Warsaw Library (known as BUW) where glass, steel and nature come together as a great architecture (and it’s among  top 10 attraction in the city according to TripAdvisor). We also have a rooftop garden, one of the most beautiful and the biggest in Europe!

The building and the area around is full of great and geeky places that attract amazing people and businesses. We’re neighbours with DELAB – Digital Economy Lab founded by University Of Warsaw and Google as well as Codility – a great platform for testing candidates’ coding skills (which we use as well).  Besides that, there is a fascinating Copernicus Science Center just around the corner. Geeks all around!

Yes, we tear down barriers and walls! We work in one big open space all together! We believe that it will improve communication, cooperation and speed of work among all of us. We believe this will boost our collaboration and innovation. We have moved our Game Of Thrones and Star Wars rooms from the previous office but there are few more that we are still to name and add some cool items.
