What is the TA Tech Radar?

The Tech-TA-Radar is a tool to support our HelloFresh Talent Acquisition Team globally; it provides a platform to share knowledge and experience in various technologies we use. By presenting it in this easy to read way, we increase the discoverability of tools and prevent the repetition of mistakes. This project is based on the Zalando/tech-radar.

The HelloFresh Tech Radar is a list of technologies, complemented by an assessment result, called ring assignment. We use four rings with the following semantics:

• ADOPT — Technologies we have high confidence in to serve our purpose, also on a large scale. Typically technology that has a high adoption rate in the HelloFresh Talent Acquisition team.
• TRIAL — Technologies that we are assessing to solve an existing challenge; once the benefits are confirmed and limitations are understood we would move to ADOPT. TRIAL technologies require us to understand more the challenges the technology can solve. We typically move to TRIAL once we have ASSESSED.
• ASSESS — Technologies that are promising and have clear potential value-add for us; technologies worth investing some research and prototyping efforts in to see if it has an impact. ASSESS technologies are new to us. They are often brand new and highly unproven in our organisation.
• HOLD — Technologies not recommended to be used for the HelloFresh Talent Acquisition team. Technologies that we have decided not to renew contractually or are not (yet for us) solving our challenge or other reasons. HOLD technologies should not be used unless for specific TA projects.
