the co-lab
In an increasingly digital world, the need to build an online networking community in the global fashion & beauty industry became pressing during the covid pandemic. In April 2020, 'the co-lab' was born in an effort to bring together all of the talented people I came into contact with every day as an Executive Recruiter. As leaders, creators, and learners, we believe in the power of collaboration to achieve. With integrity and professionalism, we support members seeking industry connections, career transformation, and growth. As a member of the co-lab, you can expect to engage with members in our private slack group, discover postings to our job board, explore the opportunity to collaborate with other members through our marketplace, attend panels on subjects like mentorship, sustainability, building a brand, diversity in hiring, and join in-depth workshops covering a range of subjects. You will get to know other members through digital café meetups, join our book club, receive our newsletter with the latest news from the co-lab and enjoy the opportunity to be featured on our blog, the co-lab notes, and our podcast, the co-lab career stories. We can’t wait to welcome you into the co-lab! x Kristy Hurt Follow us on Instagram @jointhecolab
