Marta Munk de Alba, Former Director, Talent Acquisition EMEA at Netflix

Marta takes us to a world where people haven't heard of Netflix. She recalls what it was like to recruit for Netflix in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, when the streaming giant was first expanding outside of the U.S.

We also ask Marta to reveal everything you might want to know about how Netflix hires and what the company culture is really like. She explains the types of professionals and job candidates Netflix prefers to hire, whether their compensation really is among the best in every geography or market they hire, and how she convinced people to accept the job offer. Marta also explains whether the company culture is as "cutthroat" as people claim and how the "keeper test" works in practice. (Hint: There aren't any surprise firings!)

Finally, Marta gives her best tips for those seeking an international career and which job markets worldwide have been quickest to rebound after the COVID-19 pandemic.
