Hello!
This week I almost dreaded reading through my LinkedIn feed each morning, as we have had wave after wave of shock and impacted roles in the Tech sector with an eerie reminder of 2020 pandemic times. Knowing full well the shock of being in an impacted role, my heart is aching for everyone that has been affected. There’s also the other aspect of it, for those that were not impacted, also known as ‘survivor’ guilt for the remaining teams. I hope that you are well supported with the right tools to keep your head high, and have a network of people to lean on and seek for help if needed.
It has also been beautiful to see so many companies and individuals going out of their way to assist – it is a true testament to how connections through networks can create opportunities. It feels like 2023 will be another test for our resilience, and I sincerely hope everyone stays safe and connected.
On a lighter note, I still feel the buzz in the air from #ATC2022 and am pleasantly surprised at how many conversations I have had this week where ATC was brought up, referenced and shared. A massive applause to the ATC team for putting this together, I can only imagine how much went into it and know that it was so very appreciated and valued by our TA community!
Special shout out to the partners and sponsors who really came together and elevated the event – bringing Talent Acquisition Sky High! I’m sad to have missed out but I thoroughly enjoy the resources contributed by these sponsors below (including one where your insight will make a difference!).
