The recent discussion Startup House / TechHub Riga focused on discovering and nurturing talent and building high-performance teams and welcomed a distinguished panel featuring: Dr. Frank Danesy, former Head of Human Resources Division at the European Space Agency (ESA) and founder and General Manger of INTELSOURCE. Mārtiņš Bičevskis, Professional board member, Mentor, Angel investor. Pauls Irbins, CEO and Founder of Orbit8. ◾ The audience was captivated with a behind-the-scenes look at ESA's astronaut selection process. Immense operational risks of hiring the wrong candidates were highlighted. ◾ Dr. Danesy debunked the efficacy of many popular career and aptitude tests, suggesting to opt for those that measure fundamental personality traits for long-term career success. ◾ It was strongly advocated for a zero tolerance towards mobbing, bossing, and bullying. France being an example where workplace bullying can even result in criminal charges. ◾ The necessity of clear and concise company values was emphasized to make it easier for employees to understand and implement. 👏 This discussion offered valuable insights into talent acquisition and team building, especially in high-stakes environments. Grateful to Dr. Danesy, other speakers for sharing their expertise and to all participants for their active engagement.

Tech jobs are among the highest-paying in the United States, yet Latinx remain drastically underrepresented in the sector. Latinx professionals often face barriers such as limited access to mentorship and networking opportunities, which are crucial for career advancement. Additionally, systemic biases and a lack of representation in senior roles can hinder progression to executive leadership positions. We are committed to shaping a workforce that acknowledges and actively incorporates the rich life experiences of individuals of all backgrounds. We know our experiences are invaluable for influencing the development of new technologies that affect our future. Join us in disrupting the tech status quo! Share this on your feed to spread awareness. Caroline Sanchez Crozier Gilda Alvarez #LatinXDLN #latinxintech #latinasintech #latinosintech #pocintech #techworkforce

Day Two of Day One | Helping You Hire Better at #VivaTech!
Day 2 of #VivaTech! Jam packed day kicked off with our friends at British Council and West Midlands Growth Company with our techUK delegation. Sian Wilson was then exploring the tech talent and skills landscape across multi regions with great conversations with representatives from The Netherlands, Bulgaria, France, Germany and Italy- News Flash 💥everyone is needing tech and digital skills but fighting against bias, especially around social background and university Halo effects. Standout talks of the day was Audrey Tang the 1st Digital Minister of Taiwan on a panel about the intersection of technology and democracy. Also the Founders discussion with Jeremy Smith and Jeremy Navon - Jeremy told his ‘day one’ story on how he started out, learnt, grew, failed at times but took that learning and built his next chapter. Oh Elon Musk also made an appearance. Looking forward to see what day 3 has to bring #hirebetter #europeantech #hrtech #vivatech #vivatech24

𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗘 | There have been a lot of learnings from our recent Strategic Planning for the 2030 Vision Kick-off. One of the many things that we feel is so important to address is the irreplaceable role of humans in our operations, despite the ever-growing presence of technology. The rapid advancement of tech in recent years has brought forth a significant shift across organizations, including ours, providing many opportunities for us, especially for the communities we serve. While we strive to integrate technology into our operations, we continue to emphasize the importance of the human touch, because it is our people who are truly at the heart of everything we do, making a real difference in the lives of those we serve. #RAFIrecommends
