Students take part in Globe’s inaugural “Code to Career Hackathon,” a unique recruitment event designed to discover top tech talent and address real-world challenges.
Top IT talent from Metro Manila came together for Globe’s first-ever Code to Career Hackathon to solve real-world problems and vie for unique career opportunities within the firm.
The purpose of the one-day hiring hackathon was to disrupt the conventional employment process by giving participants the chance to demonstrate their proficiency with code, create original solutions, and compete for thrilling prizes.
“At Globe, we are constantly seeking bright, driven individuals who can help push the boundaries of technology,” Raul Macatangay, Globe Chief Information Officer. “This hackathon is more than just a competition—it’s a gateway for aspiring tech professionals to gain hands-on experience, connect with industry leaders, and take the next big step in their careers with us.”
“As a company deeply dedicated to innovation and career development, Globe is excited to offer this platform to emerging tech talent. This event reflects our belief in nurturing individuals by giving them the opportunity to showcase their coding skills and tackle real-world challenges” said Keith Batallones, Globe Head of Engineering and Digital Solutions.
During the hackathon, participants were guided by mentors from Globe and its partners— Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google, UpLift Code Camp, and F5 —who provided valuable insights, resources, and guidance throughout the day.
This collaboration further highlighted Globe’s dedication to promoting continuous learning and mentorship within the tech community. At the same time, it provided an environment where tech enthusiasts could thrive and develop their professional paths with Globe.
“The Code to Career event became a platform for newbie and seasoned professionals to solve real life challenges through code, cloud and AI. The top participants get a chance to win awesome, cool prizes and those qualified get a job offer on the spot. Grateful to the participants who chose to spend their Saturday learning and having fun through hacking and building their network,” said Jesse Liamzon, Senior Director for Architecture and Engineering.
