Workdate Community
The smart HR networking tool
Do you work in HR and want to regularly meet other HR professionals from your city? Exchange thoughts and ideas over a lunch or an after-work beer? Look no further. Join the Workdate Community and expand your network!

Testimonials
Ina Von Der Stück
HR Business Partner GEA GroupWorkdate offers HR professionals the opportunity to network in an informal way during a personal meeting. This allows you to quickly establish contact with HR colleagues from other companies and learn from each other. Joining is worthwhile!
Sven Schulz
Director Business Development TMP WorldwideI find Workdate so exciting because I never know whom I'm going on a "date" with next. The lunches or after-work meetings offer a great atmosphere for networking with other HR people. Most of the time we talk about business-related topics, but we also talk privately. No matter what it's about, I can broaden my horizons every time.
Corinne Päper
Editorial Journalist HR TodayWorkdate means getting involved in an encounter without any expectations and meeting people you wouldn't otherwise meet. It is kind of a "blind date" among working people. It is very recommendable if you want to look beyond your own nose.

Employer Branding Expert IDENTITÄTERYesterday I had my first Workdate in Vienna - a very fine conversation with a committed consultant colleague. Workdate brings people together in a cool way, who probably would never have met otherwise. More of this, please.
