What To Expect

What does it take to get hired today? Does the perfect candidate exist? How do great candidates get discovered?
Join a panel of expert recruiters from BuzzCo, Critical Mass and Crate & Barrel, the Head of Experience Design at Digitas for a wide-ranging discussion moderated by an Associate Creative Director and former freelancer at Arc Worldwide.

The panel will be followed by grouped networking opportunities, with prompts to help break the ice and strengthen connections.
