IT'S CONFERENCE SEASON! Let’s take this opportunity to go outside, be active & land your next job! Job Seekers: Leverage conferences as a way to meet recruiters & hiring managers in person. They can’t ignore your elevator pitch if you’re face to face 😂 Remember networking is a buildup so you want to start making connections now. Recruiters/Sourcers: Use this time to find unique/diverse talent who’s reach out messages got buried in your inbox due to heavy volume. I can almost bet you they’re the perfect candidate you’ve been looking for this whole time! I’ll be headed to Atlanta in 2 weeks to speak at Blacks In Technology Conference (BITCON) & you better believe I’ll be using both pieces of my own advice! Let’s connect if you plan on attending & remember YOU GOT THIS! Use discount code (Kristi-bitcon) for 10% off. Hope to see you there! #GetMeHiredKristi #TechConferences #BITCON24 #BlacksInTech

How many roles have we publicly advertised since opening Brightbox Consulting in 2019 (Linked In / Seek etc)? The honest answer is 3 - and they were all for non-profit organisations where public advertising is a mandatory part of the selection process. Why don't we advertise? Because we don't feel like we need to. We feel confident enough in our network and approach that we can shortlist candidates without advertising. Our passive candidate base is where we can really add value and these people aren't (mostly) actively applying for job roles. Candidates are regularly referred to us because of the service we provide, and the way we work. We don't want to compete with talent acquisition teams, we want to partner with them. We work hard to anticipate the needs of our clients, by truly getting to know them and what their pain points are. Clients value our service because we can bring them something they can't access themselves, because they don't have the time to build the networks that we have. #PassiveTalent #Value #Networks #Recruitment #BrightboxConsulting
