Syelo Monthly Update

May 2024

Recruiting deserves community. Community has always been the ultimate super power for humanity, it’s what got us out of the caves as a species. As an industry we face constant struggles and change, our roles are the most dispensable and employers tend to not value the position as much as they should.

When we first started Syelo around 30% of our members were unemployed, today that number has dwindled to 10%. Many of our members have found their next role within our digital ecosystem and we are extremely excited to see in action what we have always known: amazing things happen when great people get together.

Community

Launching in 5 new industries! Syelo has historically operated only in the technology industry. Today we are excited to announce that we will be expanding membership to healthcare, legal, finance, manufacturing, creative. We believe our expansions in these new verticals will allow us to comprehensively grow and learn as a recruiting community while also driving value for all amazing recruiters.
