Three words strike fear in the heart of every recruiting organization: Tech Talent Shortage. Some large organizations have called the lack of qualified developers and engineers a national crisis, a bigger threat than the fiscal cliff, scarier than a band of hungry undead creatures.

Fortunately, we’re not into fear or hyperbole. We created Talent42 to help recruiters and managers get better at wooing, sourcing and recruiting top tech talent. Talent42 is a practical, solutions-focused conference for tech recruiters and tech leaders.

Join us

Spend 1.5 days with colleagues, experts and industry leaders to learn how accomplished leaders and practitioners have built successful tech recruiting organizations. More than any other recruiting conference, Talent42 drills down on the specific tactics, tools and methods used to attract, source and hire tech professionals.

We have hand-selected speakers that have compelling stories to tell and useful information to share. Talent42 sponsors have a vested interest in helping you with your tech recruiting challenges. You will network with many peers and experts. We promise an all-star line-up, relevant topics, a great conference venue with plenty of time for networking and sharing best practices. Maybe you’ll get some answers, discover some solutions that work. Maybe you will conquer a zombie.

The one thing you won’t get is schwag. We’ve banned it from the conference. No bouncy balls. No flashing pens or bendy toys. We’re pretty certain that schwag attracts zombies, nor will it help you attract top tech talent. We’ve also banned social media gurus. But that’s another story.

Last year, 96% of participants rated the conference as “awesomely excellent” or “great”. And it was. Don’t miss Talent42 2013. Seats are limited – we intentionally kept the conference on the smallish side – and zombies, aka tech hiring managers, are relentless.
