Why other Talent Acquisition people are joining this series

...

Leen De ClercqGlobal Head of Talent Acquisition - Showpad

Saastermind peer-sharing programs and acceleration weekends are not just another community initiative. Existing initiatives are usually very noisy, where Saastermind adds real value because of its small-scale context and very tailored approach in matching peers with each other. Their learning experience is the best in the market.

Arnaud DeveugleFounder, Karamel

I've been around in B2B software as a late co-founder for a couple of companies, 3 of them of which became acquired. This was a very demanding period and I felt the need to share best practices with peers to avoid them in making the same mistakes. I would definitely recommend SaaS leaders to join Saastermind. I'm happy to be contributing to the acceleration weekend, end of September.
