Talent Bootcamp Ally Program
We are actively looking for volunteers to help drive the adoption and success of this program. Commitments are as small as 30 minutes a week and are a great way to give back to the community.
Talent Bootcamp Ally Program
Talent Bootcamp is a not-for-profit organization that provides free classroom and real world training to underrepresented Talent Acquisition professionals in the business-tech community. The program delivers a best in class playbook developed by founder Eric Guidice in building his career across start-ups like Uber, Bird Scooters, and other unicorn tech companies. The bootcamp teaches the strategic foundation that tech companies use to rapidly scale headcount, as well as the technology, process and tactical recruiting skills it takes to succeed.
