Talent Handbook!

Demand for digital transformation and the talent associated with it boomed during peak pandemic. Brilliant up-and-comer designers, engineers, and PMs who had cut their teeth at Siberia graduated to the ranks of Airbnb, Rivian, and a host of venture-backed startups. And they are all doing great work.
For a while, we tried to compete, but the signals became clear, and we dove head-first into reversing our talent model. 80% of our project teams became contract essentially overnight. The trend had been building, but the push over the cliff meant initiating our own transformation, overhauling systems, processes, and ways of working to turn our new reality into an advantage.
How do we do this while maintaining our Siberia-ness? How do we guide and govern project teams that have fewer reps together than we were used to? Do we need to work on our screening, hiring, and firing process? Of course.
Our onboarding handbook is a key tool that has emerged, one and we continually iterate on, fine-tune, and bullshit detect. And because the internet is cool, we’re open-sourcing it foritthat bad boy for your reading enjoyment. If you’re a potential client curious about what it’s going to be like to work with us, or a beautiful talent looking for a new studio to collaborate with, give it a read and let us know what you think!
