Every fortnight, starting January 12, 2022, UKRecruiter’s Louise Triance and podcasting veteran Chad Sowash will broadcast a live show wherein they’ll grill recruitment tech providers. The show, called Pitch Up, will give recruitment tech suppliers a unique opportunity to convince both the experts, as well as a live audience, of their respective business ideas.
“Louise and I are looking to help amplify startups we believe are interesting – possible diamonds in the rough.
“The recruitment tech industry is crowded, loud, and very overwhelming”, Sowash told ToTalent. “Louise and I are looking to help amplify startups we believe are interesting – possible diamonds in the rough. Pitch Up will provide a megaphone, of sorts, giving chosen startups an opportunity to pitch their business, model, GTM, and everything we can fit into 30 minutes.”
The first six start-ups
While the application process was grilling in itself, the pair has chosen six ideas to star in the first six episodes. “They will be persuading us, and you, that they really do have innovate tech, new to market ideas and a product that will positively impact the TA and recruitment landscape”, Triance commented.
Without further ado, meet the first six companies that will face the Pitch Up jury.
