Partner with Talent Crunch

Formats, terms and what a year of partnership delivers

About Talent Crunch

  • Talent Crunch started in Berlin in April 2023, grew by word of mouth, stayed practitioner-led and has never run a paid advertisement.
  • Andreea Lungulescu runs it alongside The Principal Recruiter, with sixteen years in talent acquisition at Zalando, Wayfair and thermondo, and two Global TA Innovation awards.

Annual partnerships first

  • In 2026 we ran three annual partnerships, with Ashby, Greenhouse and Satellite.
  • Single events are possible, but annual partners get first choice of formats, dates and audiences.

Event formats

  • Community Gatherings: ~75 to ~250 people, built around a live problem the community is working on.
  • Executive Experiences: ~20 to ~24 people, curated dinners and salons for senior talent leaders, off the record.
  • Workshops: up to ~30 people, hands-on sessions where people leave with something they built.
  • Webinars and Digital Packages: online, with newsletter and community distribution alongside.
  • Flagship Summits: ~200+ people, the annual gathering for the European talent ecosystem.
  • Coworking Days: community-run, organised by us for the community and not open to sponsorship.

Audience targeting

  • On a curated evening in 2026, around 45% of everyone who registered came in at Director level or above, against a community-wide figure of around 29%.

Sponsorship package

  • Programme design built around the audience you want in the seats
  • Speaker and facilitator alignment
  • Guest list input against your ideal customer profile
  • Venue, catering, photography and logistics handled by us
  • On-site production with the Talent Crunch team and volunteers
  • Brand placement across event materials, community announcements and social
  • Newsletter and community coverage before and after
  • A GDPR-compliant attendee list, photographs and a written debrief afterwards

Annual partnership

  • A mix of event formats across the year, agreed together
  • Thought leadership posts and Talent Crunch content presence
  • LinkedIn, Instagram and Slack community posts
  • Webinars and workshops for the online audience
  • Newsletter mentions before and after each activation

Working principles

  • Events are developed with partners, with Talent Crunch coordinating final decisions on design, agenda, speakers and logistics
  • Sponsor contacts can join the Slack community, but commercial activity there is not allowed
  • We do not run sales funnels or lead campaigns on behalf of sponsors
  • We do not hand over member data beyond the GDPR-compliant attendee list agreed for a specific event
  • Community reach works bottom up, across multiple touchpoints, not top down in one push

Roadmap

  • More online programming, wider European reach starting with more German cities, and new annual partners alongside the ones already running.
  • Sponsors joining on a twelve-month basis shape which of those runs first.
