The big event is only a few months away, so here’s the CodinGame lowdown.

What is Unleash World 2019 all about?

Unleash, formerly HR Tech World, made their debut as a start-up in 2011 and have since grown into the largest corporate network focused on the Future of Work and HR Technology. Their events bring all kinds of people and organizations together: from big brands to startups, from technology providers to influencers, from media to next-gen innovators.

With big names (Sir Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, Sir Ken Robinson, Rachel Botsman, Gary Vaynerchuk) and big locations (Unleash Amsterdam, Unleash London, Unleash Las Vegas), Unleash have put themselves firmly on the HR Tech world map.

Why we wouldn’t miss it for the world

We are oh so excited to be an Unleash 2019 exhibitor. We’re all about HR and Tech – so we know we’ll feel right at home.

HR has been making a lot of noise in the past couple of years. Business habits and processes are evolving – but there’s still plenty of room for improvement.

Our solution reflects a real desire to be part of the shift towards recruitment based on skills, rather than on traditional criteria (resumes, qualifications, etc.). But we won’t stop there! We’re determined to be part of the HR revolution and earn our stripes as one of the actors leading change in HR and Tech.

We can’t wait to meet people from all over the world to discuss your problems and needs. We’re excited to nourish our development with ideas and feedback from a wonderful array of people. Unleash 2019 is our way of keeping up with the fast-evolving HR Tech market. We’ll be right there soaking in the innovative ideas and the atmosphere. We’ll be on the hunt for new trends and sources of future disruption.
