Hosted by HackerX
Meet pre-selected local developers through fast, face-to-face interviews at HackerX Bristol on 9 November 2026, an efficient three-hour employer recruiting event. Recruit technical talent in one evening Designed specifically for employers, this in-person HackerX event offers a focused alternative to conventional job fairs and lengthy first-round screening. From 6pm to 9pm in Bristol, hiring teams will meet developers in rapid five-minute intervals, helping them speak with as many potential candidates as possible within a structured three-hour session. HackerX describes itself as the largest invite-only recruiting event for developers. Its wider community includes more than 100,000 members across 175+ cities, while each event concentrates on hand-picked talent from the local market. The format is built around direct conversations, giving employers an opportunity to introduce their company, learn about candidates’ experience and identify people who may be worth progressing through their recruitment process. Skills and candidate targeting The event is intended for organisations recruiting across a broad range of technical disciplines, including: - Artificial intelligence and data science - Full-stack development - iOS development - Other in-demand software and technology skill sets A notable feature is HackerX’s targeted sourcing model. During registration, employers can explain the profiles and skills they are seeking. The organiser then uses those requirements to focus recruitment and shape the candidate room around participating companies’ needs. Who should attend? This employer ticket is suited to recruiters, talent acquisition teams, founders, engineering leaders and hiring managers with current or upcoming technical vacancies. It may be especially useful for teams that want to supplement online applications with short, personal conversations or efficiently assess the breadth of Bristol’s developer talent. The session is in person and follows a speed-dating-style format rather than a programme of presentations or workshops. Employers should therefore come prepared to explain their roles and organisation clearly, ask concise screening questions and capture useful notes between conversations.… Register for this event
