Guest Contributors Tackle Skills Emergency
Ah, the New Year. Dreary weather, snow (although not in Soho), lack of daylight and the tricksy return to work. It's no surprise that it's the hottest time of year for the recruitment business. Chinwag Jobs has seen over 100 new vacancies posted in the last 48 hours alone, and there's no sign of the pace slowing.
The staff shortages across most digital business are unlikely to get any better, even with this surge in recruitment. If you're hiring, you're probably already braced for the January merry-go-round of staff changes. This is just one of the things we'll be discussing at Chinwag Live: Skills Emergency on 29th Jan.
In addition to our expert panel, we've also invited guest contributors to contribute to the discussion. It's a bit of an experiment for Chinwag Live, but we couldn't help but get a little excited by asking for contributions from:
- Mandy Berry - Director, Zero-One
- Thayer Driver- Co-founder, Chinwag Jobs
- Robin Gurney - Owner, Altex Marketing & Founder, Angloestonian
- Steve Hutson - European Manager for New Media, Aquent
- Laura Jordan-Bambach - Head of Art, Glue & Co-founder, SheSays
Tickets are being snapped up and I'm really looking forward to delving into how we improve the skills in the digital biz. If you haven't already grabbed yours, probably best not to leave it too long.
