On May 11, 2017 Harmer sponsored its 3rd annual LBDN, or Little Black Dress Night. The event, hosted by CNA Insurance and ChiTech’s Young Women’s Leadership Society (YWLS), is a networking event that raises funds to support ChiTech’s women in tech program. A featured panel of women influencers give attendees the opportunity to grow their network and learn from other women in the tech industry. The evening was a great success; with over 350 attendees and 20 table sponsorships, the sold out event was one for the books!

In conjunction with ConnectVets, Society of Talent Acquisition and Recruitment (STAR) Chicago, Exelon, and ADP; Harmer hosted a networking event for Veterans and Military Spouses before the Hiring Our Heroes Career Fair. Veterans and Military Spouses had the opportunity to meet some Military Recruiters and members of STAR Chicago a day early to prep for the large Hiring Our Heroes Career Fair which was held the following day at the United Center.

The event offered Veterans the chance to get a last second resume review as well conduct 1-on-1 mock interview training sessions prior to the career fair. The event was well attended and offered candidates and companies alike to network and talk further about how we can better serve our Veteran population.
