Hiring and retaining talent in tech with Kiana Davari

By Andy Storch | January 4, 2022

What it really comes down to is that the relationship between the employer and employee has completely changed, and you do need to offer things like flexibility. Think about your compensation. Are people working on things that they’re passionate about?

In the Hot Seat: Connect with Kiana Davari on finding and retaining talent in tech and how women can gain equality and inclusion in this space

Andy’s guest is Kiana Davari, Head of People for Sorare. Sorare is a global online fantasy football game leveraging NFTs and blockchain technology. It’s a startup with about 30 employees based in Paris, and Kiana is charged with growing the team in Europe and the U.S. to strengthen their position as the dominant global player in the NFT space. Prior to joining Sorare, Kiana Davari was the Head of Rideshare and International Talent at Lyft, and she was also the company’s first recruiter in 2013.

In this podcast episode, Kiana and Andy discuss her philosophy around attracting and retaining top talent as the company grows and the advice she would give to women looking to grow their careers in the tech space and gain a seat at the table as business partners.
