November 2020 immersive. was born. Middle of a global pandemic, Brexit was still a problem, and the global economy had stopped. Perfect time to make the jump from employment to start-up land. The solution I arrived at was an embedded recruitment business based in Tallinn, Estonia. The first 3 months yielded lots of conversations, but no clients until Jan 21 hit… *Not a huge point to this post, it’s more of a public diary entry… I’m told this sort of thing is cathartic. I’ll tell you what happened in Jan 21 tomorrow. Overall, it was a 6/10 start. #ImmersiveReflectionSeries #EmbeddedRecruitment #Estonia 

Reflecting on my first six months at Bridging Divides, I feel a sense of accomplishment. I often get asked what I am doing as an Innovation Specialist in a migration research program. At TMU, we are committed to promoting innovation in every aspect. We have university accelerators, 11 Innovation Zones (where I previously worked), and professionals like me who joined research departments to bring more innovation into their projects. I am happy that we are expanding our team, and I will continue all our current projects in my new position at CERC in Migration and Integration with Bridging Divides collaboration. How will we enhance innovation in our research to tackle immigration challenges? 1. We focus on exploring New Technologies: We're delving into how emerging technologies and digital tools can empower immigrants to overcome their challenges. What specific technologies can immigrant communities, service provider organizations, and the government embrace to facilitate immigrant settlement and integration? 2. High-Tech Research Methods: Designing collaborative research initiatives between startups and research teams to develop products and policy changes that help immigrants have a better experience in Canada. 3. Entrepreneurship Programs: Creating programs and competitions to inspire students with technical backgrounds to understand immigrant challenges and develop high-tech solutions. 4. Highlighting Startups: Showcasing startups focused on social innovation and immigration challenges.

👋 Hallo DACH! Tons of inspirational people and discussions under one roof. That was the Stammtisch Wien event organized by Paul G. Putz and Peter Helesic from Danube Angels. Our Martina Pokorna introduced ARTIN to the representatives of Austrian startup tech companies, innovators, and investors. We are glad that our services resonated with the audience and that we had a chance to connect with bright minds such as Scott Galvao from circuly. It is a widespread stereotype (among many others) that nearshoring software development is suitable for big companies only. It doesn’t matter whether you have 5 IT employees, or 50 or 200. It is more about the right timing. Nearshoring whole projects or even just a part of your software development is always a good idea if: 🔸 you need additional hands but hiring new employees and their onboarding would be too time-consuming, 🔸 you are searching for developers with specific skills that are difficult to find on the market, 🔸 you need to speed up development to reach milestones in time, 🔸 you have reached a dead end and need guidance through the whole software development process. Why do we think so? Let’s talk! Write a comment below or contact our 🇩🇪 German-speaking Anna Budinska directly. #DACHregion #Nearshoring #SoftwareDevelopment

🔥 #ShowcasingOurPortfolio One day for each of our 9 investees 🚀 (2/9). 💡Did you know? Finding the next-best-job in the blue-collar industry has become a painful reality for millions of workers in LatAm. Not only nearly 50% of all workers in the region hold informal jobs, but also the tech gap restricts access to information and training, making it more difficult for employees in the region to apply to that job. That is why we backed Hoytrabajas (YC W22), founded by Ruben Cordoba, Vladimir Guzman and Sebastian Arce. 👉🏼 Ruben, Vladimir and Sebastian have showcased in several interviews, re affirming their commitment to support more than 50,000 workers in the next year and a half to find their next-best job, and talked about how is it for people with no formal education to find an opportunity in the market (https://lnkd.in/e4wNefy3 levanto-una-ronda-semilla-por-us-3-5-millones-3351881) Fondation Botnar Daniela Pacheco Rodrigo Villar Miguel Martínez Juan Pablo Marichi Matteo Gilliotti #impactinvesting #impactvc

Invest Europe 40th Anniversary Interviews 🎙️ What is private equity and venture capital’s role in Europe? “The industry has created jobs and supported European economies. It carries a great responsibility as a result of the role it plays in society.” Marta Jankovic of Stafford Capital Partners and former Chair of Invest Europe, speaking as part of our 40th Anniversary celebrations ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ev8FmNH2 #PrivateEquity #VentureCapital #InvestEurope40 #LeadersViews #BuildingBetterBusinesses #growth #employment #jobs

WHAT A TEAM! 🙌 I've learned that distance doesn’t matter when the team spirit is this strong! 🌍 Although the RocketPeople team is spread across Amsterdam, Athens, and Valencia, our collaboration has never been better. The results speak for themselves – our time to hire is at an all-time low, and the quality of candidates we're introducing is stronger than ever. Happy clients = returning clients! And that's what Jeffrey is taking care of by being constantly in touch with everyone in and around our portfolio. The approach of building a dedicated sourcing team has proven to be a game-changer, delivering top-tier candidates faster than ever before thanks to Konstantinos and Maxime. 💼 💪 And the recruiters? They are delivering: - Laura is closing Sales, Marketing & Customer Success roles within the blink of an eye 💥 - Fedra developed herself into someone that can take care of ANY role (from technical support engineers in Belgium, to Software Engineering Managers in NL) 🌟 - Amir continues to lead the way, staying at the top of his game even after almost 5 years with us 🎯 Of course we can all not wait to welcome Emilija back to the team (but she has more important things to care for right now👶🏻) Next week, the whole team will be flying into Athens to spend two weeks together – something I find essential to keep that energy and bond strong. Excited for what's ahead and we can't wait to welcome 2(!) new joiners soon 🚀 #Teamwork #RemoteCollaboration #RocketPeople #TalentAcquisition #AthensBound #Growth
