Earlier this year, Technical.ly hosted NET/WORK, a virtual job fair featuring technologists and hiring orgs from across the mid-Atlantic region. Over 800 attendees stopped by, visited company booths and chatted with reps about open roles and workplace culture.
Throughout the day, we also held several “Culture Shoutout” video sessions, where Technical.ly CEO Chris Wink conducted quick live interviews with team members from some of the exhibiting companies, diving into the details of what it’s like to work there and why jobseekers should want to apply.
