# Pierre Côté joins the conversation on Techopia Live

Pierre Côté, from Stratford's People & Culture team, sat down to discuss "Hunting for Fresh Talent at Hackathons"

 May 17, 2021, 1:57:04 PM

Senior HR Consultant [Pierre Côté](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pierrecote/), from [Stratford's People & Culture](https://stratford.group/services/strategic-hr-consulting-services/) team, recently sat down with [Andre Bouzout](https://www.linkedin.com/in/abouzout/), Co-Director of [deCODE](https://www.hackdecode.io/) and [Peter Kovessy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-kovessy-36a27b12/) of the [Ottawa Business Journal](http://obj.ca) for an episode of Techopia Live on the topic of "Hunting for fresh talent at hackathons".

"For jobs that can be done remotely, there’s growing interest among some local employers in hiring skilled workers who live outside the National Capital Region. But that raises a host of new recruitment questions, such as how you assess the skills and cultural fit of a job applicant who you’ve never met in person. A team of local entrepreneurs are taking a step towards cracking that code by putting a new spin on the traditional hackathon model, helping tech employers identify and assess new talent."
