Real Feedback from Women in Tech

WomenHack events have connected thousands of women technologists with employers committed to diversity. But dont just take our word for it—here is what candidates are saying about their experience.

Event Quality and Format

On Quora, one attendee shared:

“Super event—had a great time. Made some connections with interesting people.”

The rapid interview format, often described as “speed dating for jobs,” allows candidates to meet multiple companies efficiently while getting a genuine sense of culture and opportunities.

The Reverse Recruiting Advantage

Unlike traditional job fairs where candidates compete for employer attention, WomenHack reverse recruiting model puts women in control. Candidates review participating employers in advance and select which companies they want to meet.

This approach creates better matches and more productive conversations for everyone involved.

Beyond Just Developers

While WomenHack events attract strong interest from software developers, the community includes professionals across tech disciplines:

• Software engineers and developers
• UX/UI designers
• Product managers
• Data scientists and analysts
• Engineering managers
• Technical project managers

Networking Value

Even for those not actively job searching, WomenHack events provide valuable networking opportunities. Attendees connect with peers, learn about companies in their market, and build relationships that may benefit them in the future.

Understanding market dynamics and which companies support career growth is valuable intelligence for any professional.

Face-to-Face with Decision Makers

One of the most valued aspects of WomenHack events is direct access to hiring managers, engineers, and sometimes CTOs. This face-to-face interaction provides:

• Insider perspective on technologies and projects
• Understanding of team culture and dynamics
• Information about benefits and career growth
• Authentic conversations beyond job descriptions

Pre-Vetted Opportunities

WomenHack vets participating employers to ensure they present companies committed to diversity values like equal pay, career advancement, and leadership opportunities. This screening gives candidates confidence that employers at WomenHack events are genuinely invested in building inclusive teams.
