DrupalCon Munich 2012: Building a great Drupal team in the face of talent starvation

This talk explores the challenges of building an effective Drupal team, with a focus on the disconnect between expected and actual hiring profiles for Drupal projects. The speaker discusses common misconceptions around required skills, such as the belief that a strong background in PHP and MySQL is essential for productivity. Through case studies from the Drupal community, the session highlights how hiring managers can better align their hiring strategies with project needs, develop a plan to meet immediate labor requirements, and address ongoing hiring challenges. The speaker also contemplates how Abraham Maslow might approach team-building in the context of Drupal, considering his potential choices for technology and labor planning. This session is ideal for Drupal architects, management, team leads, and anyone interested in effective hiring and training strategies.
