#NewSchoolHiring

This month marked Pronexia’s biggest milestone so far – a high profile event we hosted on April 3^rd on the topic of Employer Branding. Our co-founder Moranne Elarar summed up the end result perfectly: “It was more than we ever expected but exactly what we had envisioned”.

We had set off to put together a unique event for Montreal’s hiring managers and HR professionals and were thrilled to have met and surpassed our speakers’ and delegates’ expectations. The venue was buzzing with excitement, and by noon #NewSchoolHiring was the #1 trending topic in Montreal on Twitter! It was thrilling to see so much engagement not only from 100 of our guests, but even from people who were not in attendance. 

We have many posts coming up to summarize the various topics discussed and to highlight the most memorable talks. Yet, we are compelled to start off by thanking everyone who made this important day for the Montreal HR community such a success. We are immensely grateful to all of our speakers who believed in our vision and agreed to share their behind-the-scenes stories and practical advice. We are humbled to have received overwhelmingly rewarding feedback from our delegates.

Here are a few of the comments sent to us in the days following the conference:

“The speakers were enlightening and allowed me to think about some changes that I can do to run a more efficient operation and create a really interesting culture.” – Director, Customer Service – Industrial Distribution

“I have many takeaways to share with my group here and if there is another event like this planned, I would definitely love to be there!” – Director, Operations – Consumer Goods

“FANTASTIC job on the event! It was great, heard some wonderful speakers and it definitely energized me to start shaking things up around here!” – Manager, Administration – Digital Marketing

“It was energizing and I learned so much. I was happy to discover how companies are doing things differently to attract and retain talent. It is rather refreshing compared to what I have experienced myself in the past.” – President - Consulting Services

“The feedback from other attendees that you had organised a Montreal conference that had a "soul" was amazing!” – Director, HR – Consumer Goods

“I was extremely happy with the conference: amazing topics and speakers, inspiring and challenging visions. Being able to connect with various talented individuals was also amazing – plus the great food and venue! I think Pronexia really put together a new, different and much more enriching type of event. Thank you for having me there! I hope you’ll have other events on other HR topics and it brings new dynamics to the Montreal HR Scene.” Director, HR - Retail

And finally, we could not be more proud of the incredible team we have at Pronexia. Employer branding was a topic we wanted to tackle not only because it is important to our clients, but also to us internally. As a young company, we have been and will continue innovating to attract and keep the city’s top talent – people who will help us drive change and revolutionize the face of our industry!

Stay tuned as we formulate an answer to the now most frequently asked question: “When is Pronexia hosting the next event and on which topic?”
