What is Talent 42?

Talent 42 is the first conference designed specifically for tech recruiters and tech hiring managers. In 2012, companies like ZyngaFacebookGrouponMicrosoftAmazonGoogle, Target, Costco, Federal Reserve, NBC, Zillow, RIM, and Rhapsody sent people to share and learn best practice techniques for finding and recruiting world class technology talent. It was part conference, part training, and all awesome… Chuck Norris awesome.
