Top 3 Myths About Hiring in Tech

There are many myths and misconceptions about “big tech” culture and how hiring in tech works. As a Talent Acquisition Manager with years of experience hiring for technology and engineering roles throughout the US, I want to address a few misleading ideas around hiring in tech, and shed some light on our approach at DataDome. The hope is that this article will provide some encouragement to all the strong applicants out there who are seeking a respectful, caring work culture—starting with recruitment. You deserve it. Here’s what I’ll address: Myth #1: Applicant Tracking Systems Are Automated to Filter Candidates Myth #2: You Don’t Need to Prepare for a Call With a Recruiter Myth #3: Feedback is a One-Way Street During the Hiring ProcessSee More

Spotlight: Voices of Women at DataDome

At DataDome, diversity is woven into our DNA. We gather talent from 25+ countries, and 28% of our employee base identify as women. As our industry evolves, it is important for us to educate, inspire, and support women interested in a career in technology—and to recognize the various professions one can pursue depending on their skills and interests. We tapped into the minds of women from various backgrounds, skill sets, and geographical locations to explore a bit about their experiences as women in technology, including: How their interest in technology began. How their paths led them to their positions at DataDome. What advice they would give to any woman interested in a career in technology. Allow us to introduce you to some members involved in our Women Empowerment Pod—one of DataDome’s DE&I (diversity, equity, and inclusion) focus groups dedicated to increasing gender parity internally and externally.See More

Spotlight: 100 Deals & Counting

DataDome hasn’t always been a 160+ person global operation. Not too long ago, fewer than 20 collaborative minds were working toward our common goal of freeing the web from fraudulent traffic. Nicolas (“Nico”) Tenacci, US Lead Account Manager, was one of those 20. He now works most closely with a team of seven—a mix of account managers and business development representatives. Nico has experienced DataDome’s significant growth in the past several years, and his story is one of determination, collaboration, and success. We now celebrate Nico for closing his 100th deal with DataDome! See More
