    When talent isn’t enough – attitudes in recruitment as a turning point

    Prelegent

  • Marta Żmudka
    HR Manager at j-labs
  • She has been with j-labs for six years and is responsible for areas including recruitment, HRBP, and L&D. Previously, she worked as an IT Recruiter and Team Leader; today, she focuses on designing and implementing HR processes at a strategic level. She co-created a recruitment model based on attitudes, as well as an organizational culture built around the conscious selection of people.

    She holds a degree in Applied Psychology and focuses on turning knowledge into practice. Her work centers on the self-awareness of both leaders and organizations, as well as practical tools that support the development of these areas, drawing on a teleological approach. Guided by the Evidence-Based Management model, she bases her work on data and an integrative approach that takes neurodiversity into account and treats skepticism as a mindset.
