Free Webinar: Inclusive Onboarding & Background Checks

PowerToFly’s Global DEI Strategist & Trainer Aanjel Clayton plus speakers from Checkr and Sapling

In order for individuals to be heard, involved, and engaged, they must be included – and that starts as soon as their offer letter is signed. Onboarding is the process of helping new employees become productive and effective. Typically onboarding starts before a new employee’s first day with standard processes, check-lists, and introductions. All of these interactions can be designed to promote inclusion within your company.

Join Checkr, Sapling and PowerToFly’s Global DEI Strategist & Trainer Aanjel Clayton on Tuesday, May 3rd at 10am PT for a panel discussion on best practices onboarding efficiently and inclusively. Our speakers will cover:

We Learned A Lot From Checkr's Women Tech Leaders

PowerToFly was back in our "home away from home" of San Francisco (as a remote company, everywhere is kind of home) to present our fourth (!!!) event with a truly extraordinary company: Checkr.

If you're not familiar with Checkr, they're the leading background check company using artificial intelligence and machine learning to make hiring more inclusive and efficient. They work with an impressive roster of clients and are continuing to grow. If you're curious, you should check out their website and careers page.

Our September 5th event was hosted by PowerToFly's Jamie Lipiner. Here's what one attendee had to say about the event: "I didn't know about Checkr before this event. I love the panel of speakers. They came across as genuine and thoughtful people—the kind I would enjoy knowing."

The evening included an insightful tech talk by Checkr's Michelle Berry, Software Engineer entitled Zero message loss: Kafka tooling at Checkr. After her tech talk, Michelle joined a panel of Checkr's women tech leaders for a lively discussion and audience Q&A session. Our panelists included:

Adrienne Pajer, Engineering Manager
Holly Bowen, Engineer
Cheryl Mak, Data Analyst
Elena Horner, Product Manager

A Look Back at Our Event with Checkr's Women Sales Leaders in Denver

On August 14th, PowerToFly was super stoked to present our first ever event in the great city of Denver. This event was also our third event with the groundbreaking company Checkr, the team that's revolutionizing the hiring process by streamlining background checks.

Hosted by PowerToFly Senior Diversity & Inclusion Executive (and Denver resident) Jamie Lipiner, the night included plenty of opportunities for Denver-based sales professionals to network over food and drinks while also enjoying a product demo and in-depth panel discussion.

Our impressive panel of Checkr women leaders, who were more than willing to answer our audience's questions, whether those queries were about our speakers' sales strategies or career journeys, included:

Kristen Faris - Vice President, Industry Strategy
Elizabeth Campos - Mid Market Account Executive
Margie Lee-Johnson - Vice President, People
Erin Bates - Senior Manager, Mid Market Sales

While this might be our first event in Denver, it certainly won't be our last!
