What are the root causes for people problems in Scaleups?
I will be talking all things Team & People
with my friend and former colleague Janie Links.
Janie started her career 20 years ago as a headhunter.
And her roster of clients and employers reads like a Who is Who of London tech:
Google, Criteo, Wonga, The Trainline.
She has seen it all in Scaleups - the booms, the busts, the hiring frenzies and the layoffs.
Now, Janie is running High Calibre People, a HR consultancy, where she advises Scaleups on all things people and growth.
