Hirewell is a proud participant in the 2017 Techweek Gives, a campaign aimed at raising $1 million over a 90-day period. Chicago’s technology community is coming together and give money, time and goods to S.T.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) and other worthy nonprofits. To date, we’ve contributed over $25,000 and nearly 50 volunteer hours.
On June 3, a team of 12 Hirewell volunteers met at the Greater Chicago Food Depository Distribution Center for a morning of work. There were 100+ total volunteers, and as a group, we unpacked 19,000 pounds of food! Our group was part of a team that unpacked 4 tons of Pinto beans and split them into individual 3-pound bags. Based on the work we did, each of us helped prepare 147 meals – 1700+ total by the Hirewell team!
We had a great time, and we are looking forward to our other upcoming community service activities, including additional trips to the GCFD.

Candidate Experience sucks right now. That’s it. That’s the show.
If you think back to 2021, when the job market was on fire, it was top of mind for everyone. Not just LinkedIn think pieces, but companies poured lots of time and effort into white-glove interview processes.
Now that the market cooled off, so did the effort. But there’s a disconnect: attracting talent isn’t any easier right now. In fact, it’s harder when you inadvertently cut corners.
Jeff Smith and James Hornick explain why ignoring candidate experience is costing companies big in The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 111, “Candidate Experience Has Never Been Worse”
