Networking Event: #HirePeopleNotPaper

Employers and international talent connect during this recruitment and networking event in Breda.

Mark your calendars for March 26th!

We will host a talent and recruitment event, #HirePeopleNotPaper, showcasing international talent, the cooperation between government and local employers, and the impact they can make together!

The Story of Internationalisation in Breda

Breda is transforming itself into an international hotspot for applied technology and creativity—a forward-looking city where innovation, talent, and inclusivity form the pillars of economic and social resilience. Its ambition is clear: to become a thriving global hub that attracts and retains creative, highly educated professionals and entrepreneurs from around the world.

This evolving innovation economy is supported by a targeted labour strategy that will need international talent to succeed. With a strong commitment to urban development, talent attraction, and retention, Breda is a city that's not just a place to work, but a place to live, grow, and belong.

#HirePeopleNotPaper will be part of the story to connect regional employers to the international talent needed to meet Breda's ambitious transformation.

ABOUT HIRE PEOPLE NOT PAPER

Hire People Not Paper poses the question: “why?” This simple question challenges the status quo in the fields of recruitment and talent acquisition and their reliance on outdated talent strategies. Repeating the same methods over and over will not fix the talent shortage. Instead, we ask recruitment to think creatively with us, and take a more proactive role that looks beyond the CV to see all Talent for their limitless potential.

OUR PARTNERS

Women for Women Breda Edition III is a collaboration between Breda Internationals, Gemeente Breda, and the Expat Spouses Initiative.
