If you have practical lessons, an active voice and experiences that can help others hire better in tech, this stage is yours.
Apply to speak and share what’s actually working.
“It was really a fun and knowledge packed afternoon!
I am very glad I took the time to attend, as we got a chance to discuss what is coming next year with new EU directives, AI within HR and Recruitment, as well as the Tech main trends.”
