While at TA Week in San Francisco I stopped by a few vendor booths that caught my eye.  Of these 3 I thought PathMotion was the most interesting product which helps employers surface unique content from their employees.  MAIA: https://www.maialabs.com/ PATHMOTION: https://www.pathmotion.co/ ERIN: https://erinapp.com/

In the first of several recordings from the TA Week event in San Francisco we hear from Jonathan Dale, VP of Marketing at PhenomPeople and colleague talk about the importance of the talent experience.
