Hi New Yorkers👋

Get ready for another exciting week in New York! 🔥 With Valentine's Day on Wednesday and Fashion Week happening this week, there's no shortage of things to do. And if you're feeling a bit of FOMO, you're not alone – our WhatsApp Group has grown to 324 members, mostly Germans chilling in Cape Town! 🤯 Let's make this week unforgettable!

FOMO Shout-outs 📢

FOMO Community Sponsor: pplwise

Thomas is the Founder & CEO of pplwise. pplwise offers a scientific recruitment approach that predicts and delivers hires, realistically. +99% of companies struggle with accurate headcount planning, which leads to HR teams not being flexible to deliver on hiring peaks. The old way of handling hiring peaks was hiring recruiters at all costs and then laying them off again when the hiring peak was over.

Leading companies like Uber, Wolt or Clark leverage the flexibility of plugging pplwise recruiters on and off whenever they need them to stay flexible during hiring peaks and deliver on headcount plans, predictable.

Connect with Thomas on Linkedin and learn how to stay in control of any hiring peak! Linkedin 🚀
