Michael is the co-founder and director of SO Digital Recruitment focusing on data positions in the DACH region, with a special focus on Austria.

During the Interview, Michael is looking back at 2021 from a recruiter's perspective on what skills and profiles have been in demand, and what is in decline. We are talking about the long-term effect of COVID on companies hiring strategies and how they need to adapt in order to continue to attract talent.

We end the interview by discussing the position Vienna has in the European AI Startup scene and how I can become more prominent.
