Byron Slosar’s Post

We're back after a brief Spring Break in NYC surviving earthquakes and rain! In our newest podcast, we delve into a conversation with Byron Slosar, the CEO and Founder of hellohive. hellohive, a virtual recruiting platform that secured $3.4 million in Series A funding earlier this year, is committed to connecting next-gen talent to companies with a significant diversity and inclusivity lens, making everyone feel valued and integral to the recruitment process. Byron shares how the platform facilitates self-identification and self-expression for students and recent graduates. hellohive allows corporations to find talent and understand them better, enabling a more humanized interaction throughout the recruiting process. He shares his founder story, how it’s a full circle moment that connects many of the talents he had built throughout his life journey and includes a stop-off at the circus. As with many founders, he talks about the challenges building a business brings while raising a son and how he has learned to embrace his perceived weaknesses and turn them into a source of strength and grit. We are buzzing from this conversation and know that you will 'bee' too! #changeagents #workthatmatters #moreelephant #representationmatters #careers #development #diversity #inclusion #originstory #founderstory #entrepreneurs #hellohive

👋 Meet #FlyHire, Mickey Mickle-Powe (she/her)! This year, she's graduating from Tulane University and has landed a sweet full-time position at Accenture Federal Services as a Strategy and Consulting Analyst. 🍯 Here's what she had to say about her new role, navigating her career journey as a first-gen student, and how Hive has helped her along the way: "It has been a dream to work in federal policy but was initiated by the world of government consulting, especially as a person who is underrepresented in this sector. Every experience I have had with an AFS team member has been so welcoming and focused on uplifting candidates and employees (which is hard to come by at their competitors)! I am so excited to be a part of a team committed to innovation and excellence for our federal clients. As a first-generation and low-income college student, it can feel like the job search is inherently designed to work against you, and that opportunities are made to be inaccessible as possible. With hellohive, I have the opportunity to place myself in front of recruiters who otherwise may have overlooked my credentials because I am new to this sector!"

Meet #FlyHire, Amanda Wright (she/her)! 👋 As a chemical engineering student at Howard University, Amanda was a part of the winning team in the Warburg Pincus LLC Private Equity Case Competition! 🏆 Here's what she had to say about her journey with Hive: "Hive has placed me in rooms with top companies like Warburg Pincus and connects me with people who care so much about the future and success of minority students. With this being my first PE case competition, Byron Slosar ensured I had the support I needed and was well-equipped to do my best. Through this experience, I learned so much, stepped outside the scope of my major, and honed many important professional skills."

Say hello to #FlyHire, Emil Rustamli (he/him)! Through attending the 2024 Goldman Sachs Possibilities Summit, Emil received insightful career advice from the Hive team that helped him land his role at Webull Financial as a Capital Markets Intern! Hear what he had to say about his internship and hellohive: “I'm thrilled to join Webull as a Capital Markets Intern. What excites me most is the prospect of immersing myself once again in the dynamic environment of NYC's finance landscape, where I can further develop my skills and knowledge in banking and capital markets. I had the privilege of attending Byron Slosar's masterclass during the 2024 GS Possibilities Summit. His insights on resume-building and personal branding were invaluable to me. I'm grateful for his continued support through hellohive, where he assisted in refining and reviewing my resume, offering critical feedback that proved immensely helpful. Without Byron and hellohive's assistance, I wouldn't have been able to effectively showcase my skills, diversity, and qualifications. Their support has been integral to my journey in securing my next role.” Stay tuned to app.hellohive.com for upcoming opportunities with our partners! 📣
