This Meetup group is tailored towards all Bay area Job Seekers, Hiring Managers, and Recruiters/HR Professionals that are either looking for a job, looking to hire someone, or looking to expand their current network. Our events are mostly geared towards connecting Job Seekers with those Hiring Managers and Recruiters that have matching openings. We also host events with guest speakers, as well as job fairs, career forums, etc. In addition, our group is a great place for any professionals in general (including those that are already working), to network and build connections, which can be utilized to enhance long-term career growth.

This group is sponsored by the recruiting technology company SayHired (www.sayhired.com) and BetterTalking (www.bettertalking.com). SayHired offers the world's easiest way to phone screen job candidates. Our system automatically phone screens candidates without a recruiter ever having to pick up a telephone. It's simple: an employer creates a job through SayHired, candidates apply to the job, take an automated phone screen with questions that either the employer chooses or that SayHired provides, and the employer gets access to the audio recordings of the screens as soon as they are complete. No more wasting time with candidates that look great on paper but are terrible on the phone. We also offer employers and recruiters the ability to use SayHired to automatically conduct reference checks, thus taking away the pain of having to manually schedule reference checks with people that are difficult to get a hold of. BetterTalking is a FREE service for Job Seekers, which allows them to take a sample phone screen, share it with their professional network, and have their network provide feedback in order to help Job Seekers improve their interviewing skills.
