Sarah Malcolm and Lisa Cooley MRCSA had a fantastic day last Tuesday at the Sunrise Aotearoa event.
Founder and co-owner of BrightSpark Recruitment. RCSA Industry Leader of the Year 2023, Seek Sara Recruitment Consultant of the year 2019
Last week, Sarah Malcolm and I were in Wellington for Sunrise Aotearoa, a fantastic start-up event from Blackbird. Here at BrightSpark.io we do a lot of work supporting NZ start-ups to find exceptional talent. We can only do this well if we immerse ourselves in the start-up world and all the amazing things happening within it. This was an exceptional event, with an absolutely class line up of speakers. The vibe was buzzing, and had me feeling positive for what is to come in 2025. It was great to see so many familiar faces and meet lots of awesome new people. Long may Aotearoa continue to punch above its weight in this space, and roll on Sunrise 2025!
