"Is Silicon Valley sucking up all the top talent? Can an Austin company compete in today's talent wars? Conventional wisdom says that what Trilogy accomplished in the 90’s - recruiting scores of the top students from the top schools to Austin, TX - can’t be done today. It is too hard to compete with startups, established tech giants, and unicorns. But some Trilogy alumni still think you can recruit the best talent from top schools in 2016 and beyond. Can it be done? Is anyone actually doing it? In this session, we’ll have a showdown between these two world views on recruiting “only the best.”
