Whether for breakfast, the masterclass or directly to the party - you are cordially invited to get to know the Direct to Talent strategy (D2T) with us. Why D2T?

Recruiting of the future - D2T Festival 2023

Keynotes, Panels, Masterclasses - real to touch

After 2.5 years of online masterclasses, we've had enough: we want to meet you for real. We have prepared a unique festival program for you with keynotes, panels and masterclasses for concrete deep dives.

You are an expert! Whether in front of or on stage.

In our office we hear ourselves talking often enough - you can change that! Dare to interrupt us, ask questions and put in your two cents. This is the only way we can develop good ideas and practical solutions. And that is always our claim.

Impulses are cool, but you need it concrete?

You want recommendations for action that will immediately increase your recruiting success? Preferably tomorrow? No problem. We have our "Career Site Checks" (CSC) for you. A data expert takes 30 minutes and compares the performance of your recruiting measures with our data basis - at the end you get clear recommendations for action that will help you receive ø 4 times more applications.

Feel like at home

In our office you can feel at home. Use our workstations as a co-working space and exchange ideas with colleagues over food, coffee and Kölsch.

Direct 2 Talent Festival

What our community members say

D2T Festival was probably the best event in ZP22. A cool team with many interesting and authentic speakers in a fabulous ambience.

Marco Gabrecht
Director Talent Acquisition

The D2T Festival was super inspiring! In a very relaxed, almost familiar atmosphere, we talked and discussed about the recruiting topics of tomorrow. And in addition, there was simply a mega atmosphere, mega party, mega network - that's how HR works!

Johanna Jödden

Global Manager Strategic Talent Acquisition

What is important to me at HR events? Gathering inspiration, expanding my network and having lots and lots of fun. Last year's D2T Festival was a mega highlight in all three categories. Now I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Heiner Terstiege

Director of Marketing DACH

Any QUestions?
