San Diego Startup Week 2018

More than ever, talent plays a crucial part in the success or failure of your business. Top candidates can propel your vision, while a bad hire can be detrimental. That's a lot of pressure - especially once you reach a period of fast-growth! Join Jill Felska, founder of Want To Work There, for a two-hour interactive workshop that will explore the process and strategies that successful startups use to find, attract, and hire the best possible talent.
