HiredX #10 - Tech Speed Networking (Candidates)
About this Event
Applying to jobs and never hearing back?
Sending dozens of resumes and still struggling to get in front of recruiters?
Many tech professionals face the same challenge: great skills, but limited real access to hiring teams.
HiredX was created to change that.
HiredX is a curated networking event where tech professionals with 3+ years of experience meet recruiters face-to-face, learn directly from hiring experts, and build real connections in the Vancouver tech ecosystem.
And now we're back for Edition #10 🔥

This edition introduces a new interactive segment designed to help you understand how recruiters actually evaluate candidates.

What is Open Networking?
A relaxed environment where you can meet recruiters and other attendees organically.
To help people connect faster, we use color-coded name tags:
• Developers: Blue
• UI/UX Designers: Green
• Data Science: Yellow
• Cybersecurity: Orange
• Recruiters / HR: Custom tags
This makes it easier to identify who you'd like to talk to.
What Are Live Resume Reviews?
Recruiters will review anonymous resumes submitted by attendees and share real feedback on:
• What catches a recruiter’s attention
• Common resume mistakes
• How to position your experience better
• What makes candidates stand out
If you're currently applying and not getting interviews, this session alone can be extremely valuable.
