In The Room: The Events & Expo Podcast

What does a recruiter actually see when your resume lands on their desk?

In the first episode of In The Room, Paul De Barros (Markus AI) sits down with Adam Zeiff, a recruiter at Hyve who has spent 11 years building event teams at Informa, Questex, WBR, GDS and Hyve. It's an honest, informal conversation about what gets people hired in events right now, and what quietly gets them passed over.

In this episode:

• Why a clear headline beats a profile photo on your resume
• Why copying the job description into your resume with AI backfires
• "Responsibilities without results" and other mistakes that sink good candidates
• The roles event companies are hiring for most (hint: digital and data)
• What hiring managers want to hear when they ask how you use AI
• How private equity ownership is changing expectations around pace, P&L and growth
• Whether AI will shrink event teams anytime soon

If you work in events, or want to, this one's for you.

❗In The Room is a podcast from Markus AI, with conversations on event growth and the world of events.
