Good Morning from a pre-dawn stroll here in Athens! Today... You get a hire!!! You get a hire!!! You get a hire!!!! You get a hire!!!!

Vaia Talent is here to help around the world!

??? Speaker Spotlight: Angie Verros ??? We’re excited to introduce ?? Angie Verros, Founder, CEO & Sourceress at Vaia Talent, as a featured speaker at the?Michigan Recruiters Conference 2024!

?? Warning: Long post ahead (but totally worth it!) ?? Hello ??, it’s Angie! With so many new faces around here, I figured it’s time for a fun little reintroduction – and I’m also sharing some of my favorite pics along the way! Big shoutout to JESS VON BANK (my selfie partner in crime) for inspiring this post! As she says, "I love doing this once in a while – it’s a great way to stay real with my network." I’m the Founder & CEO of Vaia Talent, a sourcing-as-a-service and sourcing technology strategy firm. What does that mean? We help companies find and hire amazing talent with a mix of tech and people-focused strategies. We've had the pleasure of partnering with incredible companies like L'Oréal, Rasa, Huron, Level Ex, and more hire and scale by adopting our sourcing and recruiting methods as best practices. If you ever feel like you could use a sourcing sidekick or just need some fresh ideas, don’t hesitate to reach out to me or George Trakas. When George isn’t busy sharing his LinkedIn wisdom, you’ll find him strolling with Biskotaki. Can’t wait to meet the little guy on Monday! ?? When I’m not busy with that, you’ll find me running an annual DisruptHR Athens event in partnership with the amazing team at Workable where we have great conversations around TA & tech innovation. You might also catch me offering some industry "therapy" on the #RecruiterTherapy show, sponsored by hireEZ, where we dive into the challenges and solutions recruiters face today. Oh, and I'm doing a podcast with Debbie McGrath of HR.com - more to come. And finally, keep an eye out for BuildXWorld Greece 2025 – exciting things are in the works ?? When I’m not traveling, I divide my time between Chicago and Greece, juggling life as a mom, wife, and a friend to many in this amazing talent community. And, of course, I’m a huge #DuranDuran fan ?? - their music powers all my best work! But the Greek in me can’t resist throwing in some #AnnaVissi and #SakisRouvas from time to time ?? This fall, I’ll be at UNLEASH Paris, LinkedIn #TalentConnect, Michigan Recruiters Conference, and #TalentNetLive. If you’re attending, I’d love to meet up, connect, and exchange ideas. Let’s make the most of these incredible events! Also, a big thank you to Vanessa Raath ???????? for giving me the push to start posting again and to Hung Lee, who way back when told me I need to "get back out there." I’m finally taking their advice, so here we are! That’s a little bit (or a lot) about me – now, I’d love to hear more about you and what you’re working on. Let’s keep this community growing, collaborating, and having fun! Excited to see you all at the upcoming events! I’d tag everyone, but there are just too many of you - and you know who you are! ??

#LinkedInConnectGreece was an amazing experience - ΩΠΑ ???? The event brought together professionals from various industries, creating a vibrant atmosphere for networking, learning, and growth.

Also, a trip to Dublin needs to get scheduled soon ?? ??Seamus Clancy explored the intersection of technology and public services, showcasing how LinkedIn supports public sector organizations in digital transformation and enhancing service delivery. ?? ??Burak Onder, you were a vibrant emcee, keeping the energy high throughout the event ?? ?? ?? ??Konstantinos Vourloumis & co-host CodeHub talking about the importance of technology in business innovation, providing insights on implementing effective IT strategies and leveraging cutting-edge technologies to achieve business goals. ??Nick Koutris taking the stage to talk about leveraging data for informed policy and decision-making @ LinkedIn! ??And a big shoutout to all the organizers and volunteers who made this event a success - kudos ??
