Las Chingonas: Tech Chicago Week Panel 🪇
I'm Gustavo Casas & I'm all about community. If we've met you know that I've gotten very lucky off doing just one thing: Connecting people.
La Plaza found immediate success, with nearly 100 latinos braving the storm. One pattern stood out, one common request. Know who's hiring?
Which is why we started El Mercado a monthly event, connecting folks hiring & folks looking. Just last week we brought together two recruiters for an IRL AMA.
