Slow dating – Growing Talent style!

What an amazing day yesterday!

Growing Talent‘s 39th employer event with 11 amazing, incredibly talented, but currently unemployed applicants.

Let’s hear it for Aboidun, Alex, Bozena, James, luliia, Katie, Leon, Mulenga, Niki, Samuel, and Shantelle. 👏 👏 👏 You stepped outside your comfort zone and shone! Well done!

Also stepping outside their comfort zone to do things a little differently were our fabulous employers 👏 👏 👏:

Phil, Angela & Sophie #NGBailey
Elliott and Rakesh ISS A/S
Stace and Daisy SPS UK and Ireland
Gemma and Josh Portico (the gold star is to mask my sponsor – not a gold star for attendance!!! 🤣 )
Shelby, Mick, Megan and Ben CIS Security Limited

Spending 20 minutes at each table to learn more about each other following the ‘getting to know you event’ on 12.2.25 and the personal profile sheets compilation – it’s been an exhausting, yet energising process for all involved.

Now the nail biting commences whilst employers are going through their shortlists to arrange 1-2-1s!

Thanks to the legends behind the scenes that make Growing Talent happen…
