I've hit a number of big milestones over the past few years (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). Anyone who knows me ...
We had a blast participating in Techweek Chicago’s Techweek Gives campaign, a giving campaign that brought together Chicago’s top tech companies to donate time and money to S.T.E.A.M. and local nonprofits. The goal was $1M, but over the course of 90 days, 37 tech companies raised $1.6 million dollars and volunteered over 11,000 hours!
It was an intense competition with 22 different companies at the top of the leaderboard over the course of 12 weeks. We were judged on a “per employee average” when giving money, time and goods to their favorite nonprofits.
Each participant was able to choose what cause they wanted to support. Seventy-five percent of the money raised and time spent during the Techweek Gives campaign benefited Chicago-area students.
One of our longest-standing clients, kCura, was the winner of Techweek Gives. Helping to explain the astounding $160,000 raised by kCura alone, Collen Smith, kCura’s Community Engagement Specialist said, “It’s not a choice to give back; it’s a duty to our hometown.”
Hirewell was proud to join the leaders of the Chicago tech community in this exciting giving campaign. Congrats to all the winners!

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”
