Watch: Grow Assembly Sydney Change with Neil Perry AM

We will be featuring all of the talks each week here on The Front Desk.

Event: General Assembly Bridging the Talent Gap
With the industry booming and fresh talent flooding the job market daily, the gap between education and employment has never been more evident. How can managers mentor junior and new hires to maximum effectiveness in the hospitality, retail and tech industries?

Hiring talent can be daunting. Junior and new talent as a whole may have uneven skill sets that are buried behind portfolios and CVs that all look the same. Once hired, managers often don’t know what these people are capable of or how to foster their success. Companies often wing it when it comes to growing their staff, to the detriment of employee productivity, retention and ultimately product quality.

Luckily, there is a better way​!​ Join Scout Jobs and GA and hear from industry professionals in the hospitality, retail and tech world to hear them discuss their approaches for bringing on talent, while keeping business constraints in mind. You will leave with new skills, tools, and a passion to invest in the future of your teams.
