Conversations with Coders: How Bloomberg is Recruiting Coders Using Storytelling

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Bloomberg’s new video series, Conversations with Coders, is a unique look at their software engineering program from the inside out. Profiling the developer experience at Bloomberg, it’s a brilliant recruiting and brand communication effort. Each episode shows how Bloomberg‘s different software teams manage, optimize, and innovate data in real-time.

Who Is Adam Wade, The Host Of Conversations with Coders?

Conversations with Coders is hosted by “an average guy” named Adam Wade from Hoboken, NJ. Adam is not a coder. He’s an award-winning storyteller. He teaches a storytelling class at NYC’s Magnet Theater and is a record-holding 20-time winner of the popular Moth StorySlam storytelling competition.

Bloomberg showcased true innovation by picking Adam as the show’s host. He’s an excellent choice to tell the company’s brand story in a relatable and authentic way.
