Date: October 11, 2025
Location: RDS, Dublin
Event: Ireland’s Largest Career & Recruitment Fair
A Saturday That Felt Like a Brainstorm Room
Walking into the RDS halls this morning felt like stepping into the biggest LinkedIn feed in real life. Recruiters, founders, graduates, and dreamers—each one carrying a story, a skill, and a silent hope.
For Napblog, this wasn’t just another career fair. It was a listening session.
Our team—representing marketing, innovation, and coworking—didn’t go there to “hire.” We went there to understand how hiring is evolving. Because in 2025, recruitment isn’t about filtering CVs; it’s about filtering energy, ideas, and compatibility.
🧠Why Napblog Went to Jobs Expo
Let’s be honest: every company says, “We’re hiring the best talent.”
But what does best mean anymore?
For Napblog, “best” doesn’t mean the longest CV or the fanciest degree. It means people who are:
- Curious enough to ask “Why not?”
- Humble enough to learn from interns
- Brave enough to lead an idea that scares them
That’s why we showed up at Jobs Expo Dublin—to talk, not recruit. To learn, not filter. To explore, not execute.
We wanted to meet people who think like this:
“I may not have five years of agency experience, but I know how to turn a 30-second video into a 3-day conversation online.”
That’s Napblog material.
đź‘‹ Conversations Over CVs
At our booth, we didn’t start with the usual “Tell me about yourself.”
Instead, we asked:
“If you had Napblog’s Instagram account for a day, what story would you tell?”
That question alone revealed more creativity, empathy, and insight than any bullet-pointed resume ever could.
Some people pitched full campaign ideas on the spot.
Others spoke about their side hustles, college projects, or how they turned their passion into community work.
That’s when we realized something powerful: recruitment fairs are no longer about getting jobs—they’re about getting seen.
And Napblog is here to make sure people are seen for who they are, not just what they’ve done.
🌍 Meeting the Minds Behind Ireland’s Hiring Future
The Expo wasn’t just about Napblog—it was about meeting the ecosystem.
We connected with companies from:
- Tech and SaaS startups looking for marketing partners
- Recruitment agencies exploring AI-driven candidate assessment
- Education providers focusing on practical skill-building
- Entrepreneurs curious about how coworking could fuel their brand growth
Every booth had something in common—the struggle to find good talent fast.
But here’s what most don’t realize:
You don’t “find” talent. You attract it.
That’s where Napblog’s philosophy comes in.
🚀 How Napblog Rethinks Hiring: The Coworking Model
Napblog doesn’t hire employees.
We build ecosystems.
Our coworking model is built on this truth: innovation can come from anywhere, from anyone, at any time.
Interns, mentors, freelancers, and founders all work under one roof—co-creating marketing campaigns, AI-driven automation projects, and experimental media strategies.
This creates what we call the “Idea Meritocracy”:
- The best idea wins, not the loudest voice.
- Smart and cheap solutions are valued as much as big-budget ones.
- Titles don’t matter—impact does.
When you combine that with coworking, you get magic: people learning, collaborating, and growing in real-time.
That’s how Napblog turns coworking spaces into marketing labs.
đź’¬ The Hiring Shift We Observed
Here’s what we noticed at Jobs Expo Dublin 2025:
- Students are no longer just looking for jobs—they’re looking for projects that matter.
- Job-seekers want workplaces that feel human, not robotic.
- Employers want creativity, adaptability, and emotional intelligence more than technical perfection.
And guess what? Those are exactly the values we’ve built Napblog around since day one.
🔍 Learning from the Experts
We also had insightful chats with career coaches, HR tech startups, and recruiters who are experimenting with AI for screening and onboarding.
A few takeaways we loved:
- AI can filter resumes, but not potential.
- Culture fit will soon matter more than skill fit.
- Hybrid coworking models are the future of scalable hiring.
In short: technology can’t replace trust. And that’s the advantage of natural networking—what coworking environments like Napblog create every day.
đź’ˇ What Napblog Learned from the Expo
After a full day of discussions, demos, and caffeine-powered conversations, our takeaway was clear:
The future of hiring will belong to companies that build communities, not just teams.
People no longer want to “join” a company—they want to belong somewhere that reflects their energy and purpose.
That’s exactly what Napblog is creating:
- A coworking + marketing hybrid where people can learn, build, and collaborate.
- A training ecosystem where AI tools and human creativity meet.
- A launchpad for those who want to start their journey, not just find a job.
🧩 Behind the Scenes: Napblog’s Own Hiring Process
If you’re wondering how Napblog recruits, here’s our secret formula:
- No traditional interviews. We start with conversations, not checklists.
- Collaborative auditions. Instead of asking what you’ve done, we build something together.
- Peer voting. Team members—not HR—decide who they want to work with.
- Skill + Culture blend. We look for thinkers, not titles. Learners, not experts.
Because in marketing, ideas age fast—but energy scales infinitely.
🌟 Napblog’s Promise: To Stay Curious
As the day wrapped up, we realized that every handshake, smile, and curious question we encountered at Jobs Expo wasn’t just networking—it was data. Human data. Emotional data.
The kind algorithms can’t process yet.
That’s where Napblog thrives.
Between intuition and innovation.
Between AI and empathy.
Between marketing and meaning.
And that’s why we’ll keep showing up at events like Jobs Expo Dublin, not as recruiters—but as listeners, learners, and innovators.
🔮 What’s Next
After this Expo, we’re opening up:
- Napblog Coworking Programs — for students & early-career marketers.
- Mentor Network Applications — for industry professionals who want to guide.
- Collaborative Partnerships — for startups & agencies exploring cross-functional innovation.
If you met us at the Expo (or wish you did), reach out! We’re always open to new conversations, collaborations, and curiosity.
Because Napblog isn’t about “filling roles.”
It’s about creating roles that don’t exist yet.
đź’¬ Final Thought
The future of hiring will not be powered by algorithms—it will be powered by authenticity.
And Napblog will be right there, where real conversations turn into real opportunities.
