On October 28, she’s coming to Harvard Business School to open up the recruiting playbook.
This will not be generic career advice. You’ll learn how hiring actually works from the other side of the table and what you can do differently starting the next day.
You’ll learn
How top recruiters actually find candidates
What makes someone stand out in the first few seconds
How to make your LinkedIn findable and immediately understandable
What gets candidates through the first recruiting screens
What hired candidates do differently
How to position yourself for the roles you actually want
More than a fireside chat: Live workshop
We’ll pull up LinkedIn profiles from people in the room and let Krystal evaluate them exactly as she would while sourcing talent.
You’ll leave with concrete next steps to improve how you show up, get discovered, and approach your next opportunity.
Put yourself on the radar
Everyone who attends can opt into our talent list after check-in.
When Krystal or recruiters across our network are looking for someone, we’ll have a room full of great people to come back to.
Registration alone doesn’t get you on the list. You have to show up.
Build your network before you need it
We’re bringing together engineers, researchers, founders, MBA students, and technical builders from Harvard, MIT, Northeastern, and across Boston.
Your next opportunity might come from a recruiter.
It might also come from the person sitting next to you. A strong referral can change everything.
Why we’re doing this
Think of this as the pre-game for everything The Founders Collegium is building next.
Before we put you in rooms with founders, engineers, recruiters, investors, and future teammates, we want to help you show up as strongly as possible.
That means a profile people immediately understand, a clearer story around what you’re great at, and a better idea of how to position yourself for the opportunities you actually want.
We’re investing in this workshop because we want the people in this community to be ready when the right room, person, or opportunity shows up.
You can make that investment worth it by showing up, participating, and being the great person we already believe you are. :-)
