BIMA Breakfast | Hire Better Faster Stronger: The Daft Punk Approach to Recruitment 

Speakers

Tom Hall, Brother & Managing Director at Contented Brothers

Tom’s role as MD started in 1979 when his brother was born. He quickly realised that Birdie was a creative genius and decided to stick close by. 31 years later they finally started Contented Brothers. In between Tom spent a lot of time in higher education, finally admitting that he wasn’t suited to it three years into an PhD on early Tudor dietary guides. He enjoyed the teaching and whiteboard bit though. After that he was co-founder of t5m, an online television network that produced 100s of hours of celebrity and event focused branded content. Tom’s main source of contentment at work is from seeing the talented team who make up the Contented Brothers family grow and develop.
