However, this is no easy feat. Joining us to talk about recruiting at scale is Sarah Manning, VP of People of Hopin. Hopin’s growth is nothing short of miraculous - they’ve gone from 0 to 1000 employees in just over two years. In this talk Sarah shares her insights on how to attract, recruit and develop employees at scale. With examples from Hopin’s journey, she’ll walk us through why maintaining your employer brand is crucial, what character traits to look for when hiring to a high-growth startup, and how to ensure a successful onboarding of new employees. Central to this is maintaining your employer brand through focusing on the candidate experience – everything from the first interview to onboarding has to be smooth as word gets around. -- Europe lacks a culture of company building mentorship. At Slush 2021, we dedicated a whole stage for horizontally applicable insights. Born out of the talks is Builders’ Studio: a Founder School by Slush.
