Building Connections at the Austin SHRM September Event

This fall, recruitAbility joined the Austin SHRM September Event for an evening focused on connection, professional growth, and the future of work. Laarni and Damien proudly represented recruitAbility alongside HR and People Ops leaders from across Central Texas. The group came together to share ideas, discuss challenges, and explore solutions shaping today’s workforce.

A Night of Energy and Engagement

The energy in the room reflected what Austin’s HR community is known for — collaboration, curiosity, and genuine care for people. Throughout the evening, conversations flowed easily. Leaders discussed evolving hiring practices, the growing role of AI in talent management, and new approaches to mentorship. They also shared insights on leadership development and building resilient teams in a changing job market.

Aligning with Our Mission

For recruitAbility, events like this go far beyond networking. They offer a chance to listen and engage directly with the professionals who shape workplace culture and talent strategy. These conversations help us better understand the challenges leaders face and the goals they’re working toward. As a result, we continue improving how we connect great companies with great people.

Mentorship and Growth in Action

A standout moment from the Austin SHRM September Event was seeing the mentoring community in action. New SHRM mentees and mentors came together to kick off another season of learning and support. This commitment to professional growth aligns perfectly with our values and fuels the work we do every day. It’s a reminder that progress starts with people helping people.

Looking Ahead

We’re grateful to be part of such a strong and inspiring HR community in Austin. Events like the Austin SHRM September gathering remind us how collaboration drives innovation and connection. Thank you to Austin SHRM for hosting an evening filled with insight, energy, and opportunity.
