Welcome to the #FuturesPodcast, a podcast series created by the Birkbeck Futures team, here at Birkbeck, University of London. We will be sharing our conversations with industry leaders, hiring managers and Birkbeck Alumni to offer you an invaluable platform for industry knowledge and career support, from relevant and relatable sources. In a new series, the #FuturesPodcast will be delving into the world of enterprise and chatting with inspiring entrepreneurs and industry leaders across the UK start-up scene. In our next episode in this new series, we meet with Dan Hudson, Founder and CEO of Gigl. With over a decade of experience in HR and recruitment, tied with a naturally entrepreneurial nature, Dan is the ideal person to run his own innovative recruitment start-up. Gigl is a totally video-based recruitment app, by which job descriptions and applications all operate in a video format. Listen to Dan discuss his background in recruitment, his experience running a tech business without a tech background, and crucially – his advice for keeping productive and making the most of your time during lockdown.
