Tip 70 – Tap Into Hackathons & Tech Events for Talent Sourcing


Hackathons, coding competitions, and tech meetups are not just innovation hubs—they’re also excellent sourcing grounds.

Many platforms (like Devpost, HackerEarth, Kaggle, and Topcoder) publicly display participant profiles, projects, and rankings. By browsing these, recruiters can identify top performers in niche skills (AI, ML, cloud, cybersecurity, etc.) and directly engage them with opportunities.

🔑 Pro Tip: Look beyond winners—often, highly skilled participants don’t secure the top spot but still bring immense value.
