In this web content, the author discusses the challenges of hiring junior engineers and highlights a successful program called “Ignite” created by John Hyland. The Ignite program follows a project-based onboarding process for junior engineers, providing mentorship, rotations with different teams, real work assignments, and networking opportunities. The program aims to save money for companies by hiring less experienced engineers, increase value delivery and collaboration, and improve retention rates. It also benefits new engineers by giving them a higher chance of success, a better understanding of engineering processes, and a network of fellow junior engineers for support. The author recommends this program for medium-sized or larger companies. The post can be found in the three-part series “Running New Relic’s Ignite Program” by John Hyland.
