Following a full day of two talk tracks we're happy to say there will be not one, but two after event opportunities to chat with your fellow LPW attendees. The first will be drinks at the event until 19:15, featuring (among other things) craft beer brewed right here in London!

As with everything else, this wouldn't be possible without our sponsors and so we'd like to thank Perl Careers, a long time supporter of LPW for their gold sponsorship.

Perl Careers and it’s buddy CareersJS are a technical focused recruitment consultancy, run by a CPAN & npm contributor with a recruitment background, rather than by a non-technical person. I can understand the skills you're looking to hire for, make sense of your GitHub profile, and offer specific Perl-related career and salary advice. I am very picky about only recruiting for companies I'd want to work at, and placing candidates who I'd want to work with. I'd love to talk to you if you think you might be either.

If you're a candidate and you'd like a second pair of eyes on your CV or résumé, want a confidential run-down on a company you're thinking of applying for (whether or not we work with them), want some recommendations on what employers are looking for, or want to know if you're being paid properly, I'd be happy to have an informal chat.

If you're a hiring manager and you'd like some advice on your job ads, some thoughts on free and paid channels for advertising for candidates, guidance on market salaries, or if you're non-technical and just need some help fleshing out what your actual requirements are, I'd be happy to have a commitment free chat.

Most of the candidates I place weren't actively looking for roles, and weren't available to traditional recruiters. Many of the most rewarding companies to work for aren't actively looking to hire, but if a recruiter who understands the candidate's strengths and the company's needs puts them together, they'll find a place.
