Roles you will actually see
Who should go
Charlotte developers and engineering leads who want a low-pressure way to meet recruiters and hiring managers.
Read the pre-event attendee email and pick five badges to find; that is the entire strategy. Recruiters from Charlotte fintech and bank vendors show up regularly, so ask what reqs they are working right now. Sponsorship is hit or miss with vendor recruiters; ask before you send a resume. Ninety minutes is short, so skip the bar line until you have done your five.
Show up prepared
- 1Register on Eventbrite and read the who-is-coming email
- 2Pick five people to meet and one question each
- 3Follow up on LinkedIn the same night while badges are fresh
Sponsorship reality
Sponsorship varies by employer. No organizer publishes sponsorship. Check each employer you plan to meet against H-1B disclosure data before you go, and ask in the first two minutes so neither side wastes the conversation.
Showing up is half of it.
The other half is being first to the roles these employers post, and having something real to show when you get there.
See roles the minute they go live, tailor one resume per employer, and reach the hiring manager directly. Walk into the event as a follow-up, not a stranger.
