I could not be prouder of being part of this great community. SOSU is the perfect international event for learning, growing, connecting, for having fun. If you love recruitment, if you love sourcing, if you love what you do... I strongly recommend attending the SOSU. ### SOSU is GREAT for learning and networking — 4.8/5 *By Ivan Stojanovic* I joined SOSU as a speaker and never expected I will learn so much there. If you are looking to learn what is new and hot in recruitment sourcing, there is no better place to be then SOSU! Just be ready to be amazed by the quantity and quality of the content packed in a couple of days. ### Good as expected! I´ll try to be there in 2020 — 4/5 *By Sven Rötzel* A great chance to meet and network with people from all over the world! Sharing experiences, knowledge, and solutions for the challenges of a recruiter and sourcer! ### Getting better every year — 5/5 *By Michiel Wiersema* SoSu is getting better every time I'm coming, though some of the subjects are things that I already have the knowledge in, there is also enough info that is new. Going definitely next time! ### Great place to speak to engaged people and learn a lot. — 5/5 *By Wim Dammans* SOSU was great. A great venue , a lot of people who are really engaged in their own field, but not afraid to teach other people how they do it. The Hackathon was really great and a good place to learn. Having all the information available afterwards on slides and video was the icing on the cake. ### 400 Active Sourcers who are 5 years ahead of Germany? — 4.6/5 *By Wolfgang Brickwedde* 400 Active Sourcer waren auf dem Sourcing Summit im Oktober in Amsterdam, davon über 50 aus Deutschland (darunter auch Nina Wessels, Active Sourcerin des Jahres 2019 in Deutschland), viele natürlich auch aus den Niederlanden, aber auch einige aus UK, Frankreich, Spanien, Portugal und sogar aus Afrika! +++ Sie möchten nachvollziehen, was Sie 2019 in Amsterdam verpasst haben?+++ Dann nutzen Sie den DIGITAL PASS (alle Vorträge aufgenommen als Video, zum vor-und zurückspulen).
