The Tech Recruitment Show

This week, we're joined by none other than Zach Blew, Global Brand Partnerships Manager, Employer Brand, Facebook.

Discussing how he got where he is today, Zach talks to us about how his father inspired him to get a career he truly loves and why a good career is like a good mattress; you have to have one.

Sharing his expertise on employer brand VS employee brand, Zach takes us through why people believe in people and not brands, as well as the trends he's seen with 'review culture'.  

What's more, Zach explains how by giving your people the tools they need to share their expertise, they can influence their wider networks which can, in turn, bring others to your organisation.
