What is Omek Talent Lab?

Talent Lab creates space for two-way exchange between your company and bicultural talent of African descent, with a clear focus on hiring outcomes. Teams can share company perspectives and open roles. Above all, the session creates a more human, contextual way to engage with aligned talent.

Built for alignment

Each Talent Lab is shaped around the disciplines, roles, and experience levels you want to reach. Through a targeted promotional campaign and a curated mix of talks, practical workshops, and guided networking, we attract and engage talent aligned with your open roles. In a recent Digital and Tech edition, 58% of participants came from that field.

Talks & Discussion

Company leadership teams share perspectives on opportunities, culture, and purpose. An Omek thought leader introduces the bicultural mindset and its value in the workplace.

Workshops

Practical guidance on career growth and navigating the hiring process. Breakout rooms are organized by team or function and could include sessions on CV review and interview readiness.

Networking

Space to connect, exchange reflections, and ask practical questions. Key takeaways are shared, followed by a clear overview of application processes, timelines, and follow-up. Campus tours can be available for in-person editions.

Host an Omek Talent Lab and connect with talent for your open roles.

Interns placed. From 55 Talent Lab participants, with 15 advancing to digital interviews, and 4 internship offers.

To help create excitement around internships at Nike's EMEA Headquarters, the Nike Talent Lab session brought together leadership talks, CV workshops, and conversations with recruiters and former interns.

Afterward, the Omek team continued supporting students and connected them with past interns from the Omek community for practical guidance. This community-led approach drove strong conversion from participation to interviews and offers, supporting both early pipeline building and hiring.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Talent Lab different from a traditional career fair?

Rather than short conversations among a group of brands, Omek Talent Lab is hosted exclusively for your company, creating space for deeper discussion around roles, perspectives, and team dynamics. It is a place to explore, test ideas, and grow in community with others who share similar lived experiences. The format positions your company as an employer of choice before candidates enter the application process.

How is the right talent sourced and selected?

We run a targeted promotional campaign across the Omek community and partner network, aligned to your hiring needs, disciplines, and career stages. Registration forms allow us to understand background, interests, and readiness, ensuring the audience matches your priorities.

What roles or levels can Talent Lab support?

Talent Lab can be tailored to internships, early career, or experienced hires and across functions such as Tech, Marketing, Creative, Product, Design, Operations, and more. The structure, speakers, and breakout sessions are adapted to the specific roles, teams, and disciplines you are hiring for.

What outcomes can we expect?

Talent Lab supports early pipeline development, stronger employer brand positioning within bicultural communities, and clear pathways from engagement to interviews and offers. Key factors that make the difference in hiring include clearly defined role openings, visibility into what teams are hiring for, and having company team members available after the event to follow up, answer questions, and support candidates as they apply.
