This is the place that you communicate with the partnerships team and selection team who work a bit like a recruitment agency. The partnerships team spends most of their time working with companies to ensure that their environment is right for a Maker before bringing them to careers fair or introducing them to you at a lunch-time talk.
They will use your channel to give you important information like..
Interview details and results
Feedback
You can use your channel to ask them your questions, too.

Let us know if there is anything specific we need to know about you e.g. looking internationally, going on holiday soon. Be extra wonderful by also including this in the channel topic.
If you have questions about our hiring process, you can use your channel
If you have questions about companies you have found on your own, use your channel
We use your channel to tell you about interviews coming up and everything that we need you to know. Please check it often.
We genuinely love to hear about what you're getting up to through the job-hunt so use it to tell us a bit about the highs and lows of your experience
Remember...
Use @channel or direct your question to someone on the careers team to make sure you get a response.
Communication with the Careers Team is key. We want to put forward candidates to each company who fit their work culture and tech stack. Help us get to know you by posting blogs you've written or telling us about new projects you've been working on.
Time to make that Slack channel... see you there 👋
