SocialHRCamp Virtual 2022 4.0 – Recruiting Top Talent For Any Growing Organization
In partnership with Airmeet, we are extremely excited to be offering our 4th Virtual SocialHRCamp. The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on both our personal and professional lives. What has not changed is our unwavering desire to learn, push ourselves intellectually, and do great work.
This fully virtual experience on March 31, 2022, will focus on Recruiting Top Talent For Any Growing Organization. In typical SocialHRCamp fashion, we will run mega and break-out sessions and our speaker group will be an impressive collection of HR leaders and leadership experts from across North America. While we are disappointed that we won’t be able to offer amazing food and beverage (we know attendees always look forward to the wine and beer selection at our events), we will be integrating many fun, creative, and social activities into the program.
With the Airmeet event platform we will be running a fully interactive virtual tradeshow, networking tables, “random speed networking”, and highly interactive sessions, all within the Airmeet platform — i.e. you don’t need to leave the platform to jump on Zoom, Google Meet, or any other platform.
Spots are limited so be sure to grab your ticket today — great networking, and hands-on learning

John FleischauerChief Hiring Officer
John Fleischauer – or as he’s better known – bigtalljohn – is a bit of a recruiting enigma.

After being acquired by Saba Software, he then transitioned to lead Saba’s Global Talent Acquisition function where he was able to stand up a predictable hiring engine that allowed the business to hire for 70 open positions in his final 60 days with the company. John is now Chief Talent Officer of Pivot + Edge, a firm that exclusively helps Seed and Series-A funded start-ups outcompete big corporate in the war for talent, all for a fraction of the cost of traditional recruiting. John is an author, a TEDx speaker, a two-time DisruptHR speaker, and you can find him rambling about ridiculous nonsense on Twitter @bigtalljohn.
