During the Builders Investor House, we combine our efforts and partner up with startups and scale-ups to host the next events. This edition was co-hosted with VONQ, a pioneering force in the space of recruitment marketing. The event focused on exploring the entrepreneurial journey and innovations transforming the recruitment industry. Estefania and Alisher kicked things off with inspiring pitches on turning the daily grind into joy. Also, we hosted a fireside chat with one of the founders of VONQ: Tycho van Paassen.

Key takeaways from the night

Tycho van Paassen, VONQ: “Soon, about 80% of recruitment will be automated, changing how companies will hire.”

👫 Teams matter most: No matter how advanced technology gets, having a strong team is always the most important factor for success.
‍
🔑 Local hiring is key: Even though we can hire globally, it's crucial to build the core team close to home for better collaboration and alignment.

👾 Big companies struggle with AI: Large companies are not just slow to adopt new technologies like AI; they often don’t know how to integrate these innovations effectively.

Pitches that inspired

Estefania and Alisher shared some insights into how they try to optimise the future of work. Estefania shared how she is using AI to upskill organisations, while Alisher shared his initial ideas on a problem in the recruitment space: the misalignment between hiring managers and talent acquisition specialists.

Speed dating for success

We ended the night with some speed dates, connecting founders, VCs, and investors on the next level. It was an evening of deep connections and productive discussions.
