How TravelPerk Increases Productivity of New Engineers with Zero Turbulence<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For thousands of professionals, TravelPerk<\/a> takes the hassle out of business travel. This Barcelona-based company streamlines booking, managing, and getting reimbursed for flights, hotels, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to VP of Engineering Ivan Peralta\u2019s engineering team, TravelPerk is a game-changer when it comes to these everyday travel tasks. What makes them so special? According to Ivan, it\u2019s his hiring philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge:<\/strong> Create a customized and scalable onboarding experience for engineers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

TravelPerk\u2019s tech stack is \u201cvery particular,\u201d according to Ivan. Very few companies use the exact combination of Jungle, Python, and React. \u201cBecause our tech stack is so unique, we don\u2019t consider it a constraint when hiring new engineers,\u201d he says. \u201cInstead, we look for people who are open to developing as full-stack or generalist engineers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Ivan\u2019s hiring philosophy offers them a lot of flexibility during the hiring process, it also means new hires need to learn the ropes quickly. \u201cOur success is very dependent on a robust onboarding process,\u201d he says. New hires spend their first few weeks learning new technology before becoming fully contributing members of the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as the team was about to double in size, Ivan worried that his hiring and onboarding philosophy wouldn\u2019t scale. So he began looking for a partner to support his rapidly growing team\u2019s training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong> Design a custom technical onboarding syllabus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ivan found an ideal partner in Udemy Business thanks to its technical content. And when he presented the proposal to leadership, Udemy\u2019s library of courses played a critical role in their approval. \u201cWe\u2019re an engineering company,\u201d he says, \u201cSo it was critical for them that the content was also high-quality and updated regularly \u2014 which Udemy is known for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optimize onboarding<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ivan\u2019s top priority was designing a comprehensive onboarding program for new hires. He knew they had the growth mindset and other qualities that would help them succeed on his team \u2014 they just needed to build their technical foundations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ivan used Learning Paths<\/strong> to create a custom syllabus for new hires so they could learn all the coding languages used in TravelPerk\u2019s tech stack. He found relevant Udemy courses for each coding language \u2013 Python, Jungle, and React. During their first two weeks at the company, new engineers took these Udemy courses to build their knowledge. Engineers would learn all the specifics of how the languages are used at TravelPerk later, once they joined their squads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And talk about a successful launch! Ivan estimates about 10% of the engineers had a background in Python and Jungle. But at the end of onboarding, every single engineer was able to contribute 100% when they joined their squad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Although Udemy was meant to help Ivan\u2019s team ramp up new hires, the new partnership also made an impact on tenured employees. The existing team members were blown away by what they saw. Ivan says, \u201cPeople who joined the company before Udemy asked us for access to the platform, even if they already passed the previous onboarding process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ivan appreciates that Udemy isn\u2019t just for new hires. He encourages everyone on his team to take any courses that interest them.<\/p>\n

So far, Ivan\u2019s team members have tended to focus on skills they can apply right away. This approach helps engineers build confidence, increase productivity and proficiency in their current roles.

He believes this can help give his team a competitive edge.<\/p>\n"},"main_page_quote_group":{"main_page_quote_text":"We\u2019re an engineering company, so it was critical for them that the content
