It's a wrap in Dallas. Martín and I were at the first CollaborationX, Staffing Industry Analysts' new event on AI and technology in staffing and workforce solutions, from September 9 to 11.
It was an incredible experience for Aindez.
Who we talked to
Hearing and talking with Art Papas, founder and CEO of Bullhorn and a leader in tech solutions for staffing, was inspiring.
I also talked with Ash Barot, CEO of Wolf and one of the event's speakers.
And we connected with Paul Bachelier, CEO of HireSweet, a French entrepreneur who even knows Chile, and heard powerful panels on how AI is changing the industry.
The line I'm keeping
Doug Leeby, CEO of Beeline, closed the event with this line:
"Adoption is your real competitor."
For a startup that sells technology it's an uncomfortable line, and that's why it's useful. You can have the best product, but if teams and workers don't use it, it doesn't exist.
It's also why Aindez works on top of what people already use: WhatsApp for the worker, and the systems the company already has for the team. What doesn't ask anyone to change habits gets adopted faster.
Martín and I will soon share our takeaways and next steps for Aindez.
