We got a very special event for you with amazing speakers and big industry names involved, blending Mental Health Awareness Month with high-level recruitment, ethical business and mental wellbeing! 🌟

This event will tell the story from the recruitment agency finding that niche engineer, who then lands in a high-demanding but caring environment, which can only be accomplished by caring management, leading to top-business performance, as organisational psychology has proven time and time again. 🚀
